Nathaniel J. Huáng Email & Phone Number

A principal investigator leading NPL’s effort in Quantum Light and Matter – developing and deploying advanced quantum light and matter metrology and technologies of UK’s national excellence, in particular on the nanoscale and at extreme experimental conditions to investigate light-matter interaction and quantum transport properties in low-dimensional quantum materials and nanostructures (eg vdW materials and heterostructures, nanowires, quantum dots, topological nanostructures, nanophotonics, metamaterials & metasurfaces). The team use various experimental techniques such as scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), optical (UV-visible-IR-THz) spectroscopy and nanoscopy (eg photoluminescence, photocurrent, Raman), including at low temperatures and high magnetic fields (eg magnetotransport and magneto-optics), for both pure and applied physics, to advance fundamental science and foster innovation in quantum light and matter technologies.A person of science and technological innovation. A hands-on physicist taking immense enjoyment from designing and conducting experiments to test out theories and investigate novel phenomena, and from sharing science to advance human knowledge. Always curious, and always passionate about new theoretical, experimental and quantitative research to extend the frontiers of fundamental science and technology.Having more than 10 years of multifaceted professional experience blending fundamental and applied research, technological consulting, with demonstrated scientific insight and technical expertise across physics, quantum & nano- technologies, materials science, engineering, as well as metrology and international standards development, built on from solid and international collaborations with universities, research institutes, industries, and public bodies.A fast learner who is enthusiastic about taking on new challenges to make a difference to people’s lives.Unfortunately, this person has extremely low tolerance for hype, bullshit, willy-waving, and opportunistic behaviour!

Listed skills include Condensed Matter Physics, High Magnetic Field Measurements, Nanotechnology, Graphene, and 9 others.
