Staff
There are 10 existing members of the academic staff who specialise in experimental Nanophysics, Nanoelectronics, and Nanochemistry, and work in applied and fundamental aspects of the multi-disciplinary field of Nanotechnology. There is an emphasis on using novel experimental methods and instrumentation in the Nanocentre to tackle problems important in practical developments of Nanotechnology, and in working with industry at various levels
