Enhancing the Light Output of Solid-State Emitters

Christopher is a semicondconductor physicist from Lancaster University who during his PhD studied the optical properties of semiconductor based nanostructures. Throughout this period he has authored multiple high impact publications analysing the light emitted from low dimensional structures, such as quantum dots and 2D materials. He has won multiple awards in this time, the most recent being a Doctoral Prize Fellowship from the The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
