Professor of Electronic and Photonic Engineering
University of Leeds
My early research focussed on the investigation of the optical and electronic properties of low-dimensional correlated electronic systems at millikelvin temperatures. Over the last twenty years, I have collaboratively developed the field of terahertz frequency electronics and photonics, confronting major international research challenges.
A highlight of our terahertz research includes the demonstration of the first, and long-sought, terahertz frequency quantum cascade laser (QCL) by the EC consortium ‘WANTED’, which was highlighted by the journal Nature Photonics to be one of the top photonics breakthroughs in the last 50 years.
