Biography
Jon graduated from the CDT in 2018 and is currently a Research fellow in the department of Materials at Imperial College London.
Research Project: Polar / non-polar oxide heterostructures
Supervisors: David Scanlon (UCL), Shelly Moram (Imperial)
Jon graduated from Cambridge with a BA and MSci in Experimental and Theoretical Physics. His Masters project on magnetic phase plates was conducted in the Thin Film Magnetism group of the Cavendish laboratory where he continued to work on thin film growth. After an internship with Oxford Instruments NanoAnalysis he started his PhD under Dr Michelle Moram of Imperial College and Dr David Scanlon of UCL in the CDT in the Advanced Characterisation of Materials. He is studying the growth and characterisation of polar/non-polar oxide heterostructures for use in wide band gap devices. His work with Dr Scanlon will be modelling the systems in parallel to the experimental work.
