Planning your new Venture
Protecting and Exploiting your Intellectual Property Years 3 and 4 see the completion of the doctoral research project. Completion of additional approved optional modules will lead to the award of the MRes if the student chooses. RESEARCH STRENGTHS Research Themes of the CDT The research projects that will be available fall of thematic areas: Ultra-reliable semiconductor lasers operating in hostile environments Low cost planar lightwave circuit platforms, suitable for volume manufacture Novel nanoplasmonic devices capable of operating in extreme environments Advanced materials for magnetic recording Atomic scale analysis techniques. These themes encompass our expertise between the staff from the Schools of Physics and Astronomy, School of Engineering at Glasgow and the Centre for Nanostructured Media in Belfast in underlying science and materials for next-generation data storage and information-processing technologies. An increasing role for advanced functional materials and optics and optical excitations, particularly in ever-diminishing dimensions in a host of applications. Established strengths in these themes places the CDT in a unique position to offer globally leading...
