Semiconductor nanolasers in living cells
(2020-07-27) - ThesisIn recent years there have been significant advancements in the miniaturisation of semiconductor laser devices, with optimised structures reaching extremely low thresholds, and operating at room temperature. This progress ... -
The phenomenology of sub-THz radar sea clutter
(2025-06-30) - ThesisThis thesis presents the design and development of a new 201 GHz / 207 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) Doppler radar, 'Theseus', for environmental sensing and the measurement of targets, and shows the results ... -
The effects of charge doping and dimensionality on the electronic structure of van der Waals magnet CrGeTe₃
(2025-06-30) - ThesisThe recent discovery of the persistence of long-range magnetic order when van der Waals layered magnets are thinned towards the monolayer limit has provided a tunable platform for the engineering of novel magnetic structures ... -
A high-volume continuous-flow resonator for aqueous electron paramagnetic resonance and dynamic nuclear polarisation
(2024-12-04) - ThesisThis thesis concerns the design, development and testing of a novel X-band resonator, aimed at improving the sensitivity of aqueous Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and expanding the applications of liquid-state Dynamic ... -
Photonic metasurfaces for integrated optical trapping applications
(2025-06-30) - ThesisThrough optical trapping, we aim to replicate the ease and precision of macroscopic level manipulation, such as holding, observing, squeezing, rotating, and probing biological specimens in microfluidic environments. Optical ...
