Researcher – Optical Materials Science
About
I’m a materials scientist and Research Resident at Microsoft Research Cambridge, where I explore how advances in materials and artificial intelligence can unlock new hardware technologies.
My background is in organic optoelectronics, with expertise in designing and prototyping high-performance thin-film devices. During my PhD at The University of Queensland, I developed novel photovoltaic device architectures, including a record-efficiency Y6 homojunction solar cell optimised using optical modelling and simulation. My work combines device physics, materials engineering, fabrication and experimental design.
