Physics PhD projects on FindaPhD.com
We offer projects over a broad spectrum of subject areas. Projects are available as part of Centres for Doctoral Training as well as on an individual basis.
NanoBioElectronics
Our group develops electronic materials, devices and physical models at the interface with biology and bioelectronic medicine.
Our Research
The group uses theoretical and experimental approaches to answer questions at the interface with Biology. Group members address five research challenges: Building local probes to resolve the spatio-temporal electrical activity of biocircuits; Research on memristive, ferroelectric, spintronic, superconducting and neuromorphic devices going beyond von Neumann computation; Accelerating the discovery of materials with machine learning; Theoretical approaches for building models from data and linking structure to function in spiking neural networks; and Novel organic, iontronic and semiconductor devices for bioelectronic medicine. Group facilities include the David Bullett nanofabrication lab, wet and dry characterisation labs. We are members of several UK and EU consortia. Our research is benefiting society through the translation on our non-invasive glucose sensors and neuronal pacemakers to healthcare providers and patients.
