Job Title:
PhD studentFormal Position Within the Project:
Research StudentPrimary Activities on the Project:
As a PhD student, my main activities relating to the grant are generally metasurface related, as my PhD is centred around metamaterials. So, I am mainly working on designing metasurface which can be used in instrumentation, designing experiments to test said metasurfaces, presenting current metasurface work and results by attending conferences and helping with lab tours.Professional Bio:
I am a PhD student at the University of Huddersfield, working on miniaturising current instrumentation using metasurface. I've achieved a master's degree in physics from the University of Hull, where my master's project was based on creating and demonstrating resistive RAM devices. Recently, I have been working with metasurfaces, designing and demonstrating a set of metasurface spectrometers. Ultimately a spectrometer design will be applied to an instrument known as the single-shot dispersive profile interferometer, an instrument used in the lab to record the height of a line profile. During my time as a PhD student, I have attended several conferences including euspen (European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology) and Met and Props (metrology and Properties of Surfaces). It is here where I presented the current metasurface spectrometer results and work.
