Growth of III-V semiconductor nanostructures by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)

EPSRC Project: Dotonic molecules (2013 - 2014)• Collaboration with Oxford University, National Physical Laboratory and Hitachi Cambridge• Responsibility for growth of long-wavelength low-density Quantum Dots• Development of a novel vibration-resistant microscopeEPSRC Project: Spin ping-pong (2010 - 2013)• Collaboration with National Physical Laboratory• Writing, reading and transporting quantum spin information between nanostructures• Responsibility for growth of Quantum Dot material and optoelectronic devices• Developed spectroscopic tools, including a Stokes-parameter resolving spectrographEPSRC Project: Long-wavelength InAs/GaAs Bilayer Quantum Dot lasers (2008 - 2010)• Collaboration with Sheffield University• Developing novel Quantum Dot "Bilayer" lasers• Demonstrated lasing beyond 1400 nm and room-temperature gain at 1500 nm.• Fixed the Ideal Diode Approximation for quantum-confined materials

• Created the first National Internet presence for the YMCA national and local associations in England• Training and consultancy to raise awareness of the rise of the Internet and its impact on the charity• Publicity and education at national meetings and conferences• Created, designed and maintained websites balancing local and national needs• Created and maintained a centralised email system before broadband was available
