Tawfique presented a plenary talk at ESIT 2026 (Earth & Space: from Infrared to Terahertz International Conference) in Shanghai. His talk focused on computational light detection in the age of artificial intelligence, including emerging design trends for intelligent light detectors and concepts discussed in his recent Nature Reviews Electrical Engi…

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Zi Ye to our group. He has joined us as an MPhil student. He will be working on the design and development of electrodes for gas sensors. Warmest welcome!

We are pleased to welcome Prof. Kah-Wee Ang to our group. He has joined us as a Visiting Academic Fellow from the National University of Singapore where he is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also the Director of Microelectronics Technologies & Devices and Chief Technology Officer at the National Semicondu…

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Amaury Baret to our group. He has joined us as a visiting PhD candidate from the University of Liège. He will be working on transport and percolation in disordered stochastic networks, combining theoretical, simulation and experimental approaches. Warmest welcome!

Researchers, students, alumni, industry leaders and entrepreneurs gathered at West Cambridge to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cambridge Graphene Centre and 20 years of the Electrical Engineering Division. The event brought together leading researchers and industry partners to showcase how research in graphene, photonics, AI and advanced ele…

Professor Tawfique Hasan chaired Track 5, Intelligent Light-Field Detection, at the Light Conference 2026 in Changchun, China. It was bringing together leading researchers from across optics, photonics, computational imaging and artificial intelligence. The session explored how advances in AI and integrated photonics are enabling new approaches to …

Yesterday, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting a brilliant delegation of professors and leaders from Tecnológico de Monterrey at our Cambridge University facilities. It was a fantastic day filled with great energy, inspiring research insights and a shared passion for driving global innovation. We spent the day showing them around our labs and h…

Our work, recently highlighted by Cambridge Enterprise, marks a major milestone in robotics by solving one of the industry's longest-standing hardware bottlenecks: the sense of touch. While modern robots excel at visual perception, they heavily lack tactile intelligence. This means robotic grippers often struggle to handle delicate or irregularly s…

We are pleased to announce that Mr. George Psaltakis has been elected President of the Postgraduate Community at Jesus College, Cambridge. Following two years of dedicated service as the MCR College Council Representative, this achievement reflects his commitment to supporting postgraduate students and contributing to College life. Congratulations …

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Xia Han to our group. He has joined us for an MPhil and will be working on development of electronic skins for dexterous robots as part of the TERN project project. Warmest welcome! 

We recently participated in the Smarter Robot Bodies, All Creator Workshop, a three-day programme led by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), focused on advancing science, engineering and the translation of research into real-world impact. Now over a year into the initiative, the workshop brought together funded teams, partners and ex…

We have three new members join our group, Miss Josée Mallah and Mr Dimitrios Paparas as PhD studetns and Mr Agastasya Dahiya as an MPhil student. Their research is being supported by Professor Luigi Occhipinti from Loughborough University. Warmest welcome!

We’re pleased to share that our latest work at the University of Cambridge has been featured on the University’s research news platform. The article highlights our development of a graphene-based artificial skin designed to bring human-like touch capabilities closer to robotic systems. By using graphene’s unique electrical and mechanical properties…

At Cambridge, our team has developed a new miniaturised fingertip sensor that allows robots to detect subtle forces and recognise when an object starts to slip. The sensor can measure the full 3D force on the fingertip, helping robots distinguish between pressure and sideways forces. Big congrats to Guolin Yun and the team at University of Cambridg…

Our project was presented at the IEEE Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing Conference (EDTM 2026) in Malaysia through an invited talk entitled "High-Performance Fully Solid-State Electrochemically Exfoliated WS₂ Transistors." Our results demonstrate the significant potential of electrochemically exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides …
