New publication: Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices
Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers who has had his work ‘Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices‘ published in Physical Review Applied. In this work, James applies principles from electromagnetism to manipulate mechanical energy with a view towards using graded plates as lenses or for performing mode shaping. This work has applications for […]
New publication: Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes
Congratulations to CDT alumni Dr Kavya Sreeja Sadanandan whose work ‘Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes’ has been published in Nano Energy. In this work, Kavya and colleagues report on the effectiveness of a new triboelectric nanogenerator (devices that convert mechanical energy into an electric current) design which could be used in […]

Second year PGR David Newman reently chaired a session at UK Magnetics Society Student Conference where he chaired a session and presented a talk entitled ‘Electrical detection of a DC spin current through an epitaxial antiferromagnetic NiO layer’. The event was virtually hosted by the UK Magnetics Society to provide a platform for PhD student […]
Summer Student Projects 2020
This summer, two of our PGRs- second year Conor Price and third year Iago Rodriguez Diez– were awarded summer student bursaries, covering a small stipend and project fees to allow them to host an undergraduate student for 10 weeks to complete a summer research project. In a competitive process, the PGRs had to put forward […]
Joaquín Faneca submits his thesis!
Congratulations to final year PGR Joaquín Faneca, who has just submitted his thesis: “Tunable Silicon integrated photonics based on functional materials”. Here is Joaquín’s experience of his time with the CDT: When I started the PhD coming from another country, everything was difficult, you do not have your own language, your family, your friends, your culture, etc. […]
