The GOOD group travelled down to Sheffield for UK Semiconductor to present our latest research on Ga2O3. David was giving his first in-person presentation on the origin of the 3.8 eV luminescence line in Ga2O3, and Fabien was presenting his work on Ti contacts to Ga2O3. Fabien also gave a featured talk at the Ga2O3 Innovation Session on the opportunities and challenges of Ga2O3 devices.

Fabien was down to London at the IET London: Savoy Place to share his vision for the future of UV optoelectronics and be presented the Rank Prize Research Visionary Award. The ceremony was hosted by science broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili.

Great honour to be handed a @rankprize Research Visionary Award for my vision on the future of UV optoelectronics.
Thanks @rankprize and @jimalkhalili for an amazing and insightful ceremony! pic.twitter.com/7U20XSwdyz

Welcome to (from left to right) Ross, Aurora, Lewis, and Anthea into the GOOD group! They will be joining us for their summer projects.

After a successful MSc project, Mugove Maruzane joined the GOOD group as a PhD student . In his PhD, Mugove will use the group’s EPMA to better understand Ga2O3 semiconductors, by combining optical, chemical and structural analysis of the materials.

Welcome Mugove!

Fabien receives a Research Visionary Award from the Rank Prize. He will take part in a tailored programme of workshops and one-to-one speaker and media training from Outsmart Insights to develop his vision on the future of UV optoelectronics.

Congratulations! Six ECRs in #nutrition / #optoelectronics will present their visions of the future to @jimalkhalili in January. @AngelaClaireW @plantsci @OfficialUoM @muneta_gmanzeke @UoNBiosciences @FionaMalcomson @HNRC_NclUni @FabienMassabuau @PhysicsStrath @OxfordPhysics pic.twitter.com/iDfGGA8fI3

Warm welcome to Zak Johnston, Kay Polland and Abrar Almutari who are joining us for the summer.
– Zak will be working on UV-vis spectrophotometry of Ga2O3
– Kay will study Ga2O3 using temperature dependent photoluminescence
– Abrar will investigate the optical properties of h-BN using UV-vis spectrophotometry

Fabien has been presenting his new work on sequential plan-view TEM analysis of porous GaN at PICO2021.

Kick-off #PICOO2021 conference on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy.

Join on Tue 10am (GMT) for my talk on sequential PV TEM. On the menu:
– Dislocations and pores
– Religious devotion to sample preparation
– Pretty pictures!https://t.co/xdcfcPXkpx pic.twitter.com/H2KY84ikCP
