Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics Lab

We are interested in all aspects of nanoelectronic and nanophotonic materials and devices, with a particular interest in resistance switching for non-volatile memories (RRAM) and other applications

We have a wide range of other research interests, which you can find out more about by looking at our research pages, and we collaborate widely with many other universities and industry worldwide. Please have a look at our webpage, and if you have any questions feel free to contact us. We are always open to new collaborations.
