Cork, County Cork, Ireland
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Photonics Theory group at Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. I expertise in theoretical modeling and simulations of carrier transport and optical properties in compound semiconductors. Currently, my research focuses on the development of (ultra)wide bandgap semiconductors for high-frequency and power electronics. At the Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC) at Tyndall, I work on establishing theoretical frameworks that integrate first-principles calculations, device simulations, and machine learning to design next-generation transistors. These transistors, based on aluminum-rich wide-bandgap III-Nitride semiconductors, are tailored for high-voltage and high-frequency applications. The designed devices are then grown by our collaborator, Dr. Pietro Pampilli from Prof. Peter Parbrook's group at Tyndall, and subsequently tested by Dr. Jayjit Mukherjee from Prof. David Moran's group at the University of Glasgow.
Presented our ARNE project results at 3 major international scientific conferences: 1. 15th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS-15): [Contributed talk] One of the largest international Nitride conferences. The ICNS-15 brings together researchers from 37 countries, to share their latest breakthroughs, exchange ideas, and drive forward the field of nitride semiconductors. We mark the 30th anniversary of ICNS with an exciting and diverse program featuring 770 presentations, including plenary, invited, and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions, rump sessions, late-news & special topic sessions. 2. UK Semiconductors: [Contributed talk] Owen Building, Sheffield Hallam University; 2 July and 3 July 2025 3. Psi-k 2025: [Attended]
