Project opportunities
Single photons from molecules: Explore organic molecules as controllable nanoscale sources of single photons for quantum technologies.
Ultrafast dynamics in real space: Track nanoscale processes directly in space and time using time-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy.
STM tips for enhanced light emission: Engineer STM tips for stronger local light emission and higher photon detection rates.
Biomolecules at atomic resolution: Combine a newly developed electrospray deposition source with scanning tunnelling microscopy to visualise the building blocks of sugars and peptides on surfaces, enabling structural studies relevant to biotechnology and medicine.
AI-powered microscopy analysis: Develop AI models that identify, classify, and quantify complex nanoscale structures automatically.
Build advanced research instruments: Design and construct custom experimental systems for state-of-the-art nanoscale measurements.
Sustainable battery materials: Study electrode ageing and impurities, and develop approaches for graphite recovery and recycling.
