About

We focus on semiconductor material and device physics from theory and experiment to application, underpinned by world-leading facilities at our Institute for Compound Semiconductors. Our work is guided by government strategy and we are a major founding partner of the South Wales Semiconductor Cluster.

Semiconductors constitute the foundations of all electronic devices. We work to  make current devices more efficient and develop new functionalities to improve our lives and create a more sustainable future, for example:

• developing sensors and communications for driverless cars
• creating the internet of things
• improving the efficiency of our solar farms
• developing better electric vehicles.

Our group leverages the strong visibility provided by the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) and the wider South Wales Compound Semiconductor cluster. This collaboration gives us access to advanced, reproducible fabrication capabilities and, by minimizing variability in the fabrication process, means we can focus on innovation.
