Many congratulations to Dominic Duffy (Dominic Duffy) who successfully defended his PhD thesis today. The title of Dominic's thesis is "Development of Novel Semiconductor Materials and Type-II Heterostructures for Infrared Applications". Well done Dr. Duffy!

Many congratulations to Jamie McMillan who today successfully defended his PhD thesis "Traceable thermal imaging in harsh environments" based on his work NPL. Well done Dr. McMillan!

Today, we lost a visionary. Gordon Moore, thank you for everything.

Great to see our review on perovskite device architectures is a #topdownloadedarticle in advanced functional materails! Stephen Sweeney @sweenster.bsky.social

Congratulations to Anoma Yamsiri who presented her work on Active Photonic Thermometry at @10thSymposium in Anaheim. A joint PhD project with University of Glasgow University of Surrey NPL PGImetrology.

A proud supervisor moment seeing Chris and Dominic ⁦Dominic Duffy⁩ graduating with their PhDs. Well done Dr Fitch and Dr Duffy.

Recent publication from a very fruitful collaboration between University of Glasgow and FBH. We show how a lack of carrier density pinning and its spatial variation influences the output & beam quality of high power semiconductor lasers. pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…

Well done to Aidas Baltusis for presenting his University of Glasgow NPL PhD research on compressed sensing PL imaging techniques for rapid semiconductor testing at the SPIE Optical Metrology conference in Munich, part of the World of Photonics Congress #SPIE #Metrology

Well done to Dominic Duffy and Nye Ellis who presented their work on new semiconductor laser concepts at the U.K. Semiconductors conference in Sheffield last week. University of Glasgow UofG Electronics & Nanoscale Engineering

Great to see this work published. It explores the potential of perovskites for modulated light sources integrated on a silicon platform. Well done to the large team involved. nature.com/articles/s4156…

I suspect almost every student working in semiconductor physics or physical electronics picked-up his book at some point in their career. RIP. Semiconductor visionary Simon Sze passed away at age 87 digitimes.com/news/a20231108…
