We’re based in the Electrical Engineering Division at the University of Cambridge. The focus of our research is to solve materials science and device engineering challenges to integrate low-dimensional materials in (opto)electronic, spintronic and quantum devices with enhanced performance and novel functionalities.

Group Leader: Dr Jack Alexander-Webber

Jack is a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow in the Electrical Engineering Division, University of Cambridge. He has previously held a Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and a Junior Research Fellowship at Churchill College, Cambridge. He has a DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Oxford, and MSci in Physics from Royal Holloway, University of London.

Dr Zeinab Tirandaz

Zeinab joined the group after a PhD at the University of Manchester. Zeinab is working on computer vision techniques for high-throughput automated characterisation and device integration of nanomaterials.

Dr Faris Abualnaja

Faris joined the group after a PhD and postdoc at Imperial College London. Faris is working on scalable nanomaterial based optoelectronic devices.

Teja Potocnik

Teja joined the team after studying Material Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester. As part of her PhD she developed passivation and encapsulation strategies for 2D material devices, as well as automated protocols for high throughput nanomaterial characterisation.
