The University of St Andrews is one of the UK's foremost research institutions, internationally recognised for its optoelectronics research. It is situated in a beautiful location by the sea. The town of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland is known for its welcoming and friendly ambiance, the small and congenial town quickly feels like home. With the vibrant university atmosphere juxtaposed against a relaxed world of sand and sea, the town is an enjoyable mixture of lively and calm.
We reside in the School of Physics and Astronomy and constitute a team of researchers led by Prof. Ifor Samuel and Dr Graham Turnbull. Our international team includes a mixture of experienced postdoctoral researchers from leading groups around the world and PhD students from the UK, continental Europe and beyond.
We work in modern state-of-the-art facilities, including a purpose-built clean room, advanced femtosecond laser facility and state of the art labs for measurements on OLED, solar cell, and laser materials and devices.
