“My Ph.D. project in the Nanoscience Centre involves the fabrication and characterization of novel nanostructures. The nano-flowers image is an example of a number of different morphologies that have been produced using chemical vapor deposition. In addition to ‘flowers’ I can also grow nanowires, cones, rings etc. Apart from their beauty as three-dimensional structures, detailed characterization reveals a complex mixture of amorphous and crystalline material which not only determines the ultimate structure but also provides a unique material with potential applications for both electronic and photonic devices. For the remainder of my PhD, I will be focusing on the potential device aspects of these extraordinary structures.”

It has been said that research—the discovery of new knowledge—and predicting how it will be applied is like driving in the dark. You can see only as far as the headlights will allow, but if you keep going, you will reach your destination. [more]
