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 Ralf Mouthaan

Ralf studied Physics at the University of Nottingham and has worked at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory developing metrology standards to assess exposure to RF & microwave radiation. He obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge exploring novel techniques for controlling light propagation in optical waveguides, and has joined the group to develop novel automated characterisation techniques.

Teja Potocnik

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

Xiaofan Lin

Xaiofan joined the team after studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester. He is currently developing novel lithography techniques for optoelectronic device applications.
