Dr Kaveh Delfanazari

Kaveh is currently a Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics (CAPE), the Electrical Engineering Division and the Physics Department, Cavendish Laboratory, the University of Cambridge. His research interests lie in the area of nanoelectronics, Josephson junctions and integrated microwave-terahertz electronics and photonics components. Kaveh’s current activities are focused on integrated (superconducting-semiconducting) quantum circuits and superconducting photonics. He collaborates with Hannah Joyce and Michael Kelly (EE) and David Ritchie and Charles Smith (Cavendish).

Sarwat Baig

Sarwat is a PhD student and a member of the UCL - Cambridge Centre for Doctoral Training in Integrated Photonic and Electronic Systems (IPES). Prior to joining the Electronic and Photonic Nanomaterials group, Sarwat studied Chemistry with Study Abroad (McMaster University, Canada) at the University of Bristol, followed by two years of working as a device engineer at HP Labs, Bristol. Her PhD project is develop to fabrication processes of optoelectronic devices made from polymer encapsulated III-V semiconductor nanowires, where she has had the opportunity to work at the Australian National University for three months. She is joint supervised by Dr Ioannis Papakonstantinou (University College London) who oversees the simulation part of the project. Outside the lab, Sarwat enjoys knitting, going to gigs and driving her convertible.

Greg Tainter

Greg is a PhD student and a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoDTC). Greg writes: My work focuses on the new class of metal halide perovskite solar cell materials, which have remarkably produced cells of over 22% efficiency after less than a decade of development and promise to be cheaper than silicon. I investigate device and interface physics; looking at energy loss mechanisms using contact measurements and photoluminescence spectroscopy. More simply, I perform electrical tests and study how the material responds to illumination. My work identifies energy loss mechanisms, investigates new device architectures, and aims to better describe the exact origin of the extremely promising properties of perovskite materials more generally.

Lissa Eyre

Lissa is a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoDTC). Her PhD project aims to synthesise metal halide perovskite nanowires and to study their optoelectronic properties using high spatial resolution optical spectroscopy. Lissa is jointly supervised by Dr Felix Deschler (Optoelectronics Group, Cavendish laboratory) and Hannah.
