Trosolwg

I am a lecturer at the School of Engineering at Cardiff University. My research focusses on nano-photonics, quantum optics, and quantum sensing technologies based on single photon emitting colour centres in wide bandgap semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride, diamond and 2D materials.

More information can be found on the group webpage.

Bywgraffiad

Following completion of a MSci in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Bristol, I joined the Centre for Quantum Photonics with Profs Jeremy O'Brien and John Rarity, completing a PhD on "Photonic Structures and Techniques for Enhanced Measurement of Spin Qubits in Diamond".  Subsequently I became an Eyes High Postdoctoral Fellow in Prof. Paul Barclay's group at the Institute for Quantum Science and Technology at the University of Calgary.  I joined Cardiff University in 2018, working with Prof. Anthony Bennett and Prof. Diana Huffaker and gaining a Welsh Government funded Sêr Cymru cofund postdoctoral fellowship to support my work on quantum emitters in widebandgap semiconductors.

My current research interests are in the investigation and development of single photon emitting colour centres for communication and sensing applications in wide band-gap compound semiconductors with mature growth and processing capabilities such as gallium nitride.

My previous work has focussed on the development of colour centres in diamond as photonic quantum technology resources such as single photon quantum emitters and solid state qubits for quantum information.  This involved the coupling of Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) or Silicon Vacancy (SiV) colour centres to photonic structures such as focussed ion beam (FIB) milled solid immersion lenses to improve photon collection efficiency (APL, 97, 24, 241901, 2010), whispering gallery mode microdisk resonators for cavity optomechanics (Optica, 3, 9, 963. 2016), and femtosecond laser written waveguides to guide and collect emitted light (Optics Letters, 43, 15, 3586 2018).
