Two of our submitted papers to the NUSOD News 2022 conference - by Michael O'Donovan and Robert Finn, working under Stefan Schulz and with collaborators - have been refereed as top-ten submissions. You can read more about their work on the NUSOD blog: nusod.wordpress.com

Great to see a recent study on the effects of Auger recombination on InGaN LED efficiency by Joshua McMahon and Stefan Schulz together with researchers at the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge featured in Semiconductor Today: semiconductor-today.com/news_items/202… Tyndall Institute

Rob and Cara-Lena are travelling to Fukuoka, Japan today to represent Photonics Theory at the International Conference for Semiconductor Nitrides (ICNS). Looking forward to a great week hearing excellent talks! IPIC Tyndall Institute

Huge congratulations to School of Physics UCC Dr. Christopher Broderick who was awarded the prestigious @Royalsociety @scienceire University Research Fellowship. “Enabling atomistic in silico design of semiconductor nanowire heterostructures” ucc.ie/en/physics/new…

We are offering 3 projects in materials theory and simulation to successful applicants to the Tyndall Institute 2024 Summer Fellowship (with Cara-Lena Nies, Amit Kumar Singh, and Chris Broderick). Application information and project descriptions linked below!

Congratulations, Lynette!

Entries are still open for our paid 2024 Summer Fellowship Programme! In addition to #research, students also have the opportunity to learn about research commercialisation, communication & more. 👉 Don’t miss out - bit.ly/3N4ZJu7. IPIC MCCI IERC.

Next Monday's School of Physics UCC seminar will be by Dr. Christopher Broderick Tyndall Institute. Title: "Band structure engineering of direct-gap group-IV semiconductors: theory and consequences" shorturl.at/eGQW7 SEFS@UCC UCC Physoc

As we honour #Internationalwomensday, we are delighted to shine light on some of the many exceptional #WomenInTyndall who #inspireInclusion and share some of their advice with you. This is Dr Cara-Lena Nies, Postdoctoral Researcher in our Photonics Theory Group.

One of our key activities is developing empirical atomistic electronic structure models, to provide quantitative prediction of application-critical properties in unconventional semiconductors. This Perspective reviews our work in and outlook on the field. pubs.aip.org/aip/jap/articl…

In our latest paper we combine atomistic electronic structure with quantum-corrected, localisation landscape transport calculations, demonstrating the strong impact of alloy fluctuations on carrier transport and recombination in multicolour InGaN LEDs: journals.aps.org/prapplied/abst…

Kevin Sewell, a @scienceirel-funded Ph.D. student in our group, has published a lay overview of his research in UCC Ireland graduate student journal The Boolean, describing spin scattering in semiconductors and its technological potential: journals.ucc.ie/index.php/bool…

Congratulations to We are now Research Ireland funded Ph.D. student Cónal Murphy, whose work on designing semiconductor superlattices was recognised in Tyndall's Postgraduate Publication of the Year competition. You can read Cónal's paper here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Finishing up a stimulating week at the 2024 #ICPS in Ottawa, including three contributed talks from our group on theory and simulation of classical and quantum photonic materials by Neil, Chris and Stefan Schulz

We are offering 3 summer internships in the Photonics Theory Group in 2025: supervised by Badal Mondal (machine learning interatomic potentials), Chris Broderick (topological quantum wells), and Stefan Schulz (quantum dots for quantum photonics). Details via the link below!

This Wed, 22nd Jan, an information session will take place on Master's/Ph.D. funding for #physics and #maths students. Dr. Christopher Broderick @UCCPhysics will speak about the GOIPG Scholarship Programme. See flyer below for more details and QR code for workshop! UCC Math Sciences
