Quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures

Semiconductor superlattices are nanostructures made from alternating layers of two different semiconductor materials, usually with very similar lattice constants, for example, GaAs and AlGaAs

- For self-funded PhD students, I currently offer theoretical projects in areas of Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Coherent Quantum Systems, Electrophononics (quantum transport driven by acoustic stimuli) and Modeling of Cognitive Processes.
- For both BSc and MPhys finalists, I offer theoretical research projects related to Nonlinear Charge Transport in Semiconductor Nano-structures, Resonant Transport of Cold Atoms, and Synchronization of Noise-Induced Oscillations (synchronization of stochastic neurons).
Prospective PhD students and finalists are welcome to contact me to discuss possible research projects.
