RESEARCH AREAS We supervise MPhil PhD students whose interests match the expertise we have in our four main research themes. In condensed matter and nanoscale physics we research electronic, optical, structural and magnetic properties of novel solid-state materials, particularly novel semi-conductor structures and nanostructured materials such as nanocrystals and nanowires. Theoretical studies use state-of-the-art quantum mechanical approaches and involve massively parallel supercomputing. Our development of new approaches to quantum modelling is pushing the boundaries of the size and complexity of systems that can be modelled. Experimental work is frequently undertaken at synchrotron facilities in Europe and America and closely related work is undertaken with colleagues in the nanomaterials and electronics research group in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering. Our research in biophysics explores the structure and function of cells with the aim of creating artificial life and building machines based on biological parts. Projects include protocell development and the construction of a cyborg robot. Fundamental to such tasks is an understanding of biological physics that requires the use of techniques including single molecule manipulation, atomic force microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy. Galaxies and the interstellar medium, the source of the galactic magnetic field and its influence on the structure of the galaxy form the focus of our research in astrophysics. There is also interest in cosmology, particularly the early universe and its origin in the big bang. In ultrafast optics, research focuses on coherent optical control of atomic collisions in ultracold gases by femtosecond laser light for studies of problems in fundamental physics, for example the measurement of time dependence of the fundamental constants of nature. We also research metrological protocols for characterisation of broadband light, specifically those relating to foundational aspects of quantum mechanics and its application. RESEARCH DEGREE TRAINING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Throughout your studies you work closely with your supervisor. In the initial stages your research will be guided by the supervisor but as you gain confidence and expertise you will be given increasing responsibility for the day-to-day running of the project. You will be trained in all aspects of physics research, including the oral and written presentation of your work. Our Postgraduate Committee provides impartial academic advice and guidance throughout your studies. Our Science, Agriculture and Engineering Graduate School also provides training in professionalkey skills and research techniques, supports personal development, hosts postgraduate events and has links with several specialist graduate training networks.
