Time/Date: 3pm Wednesday 11th March 2015
Venue: JA3.14

Title: Materials and surfaces for optical and particle beams

Abstract:
Advanced materials are a key requirement for leading-edge manufacturing, and have been identified as one of the UK Government's Eight Great Technologies. They constitute a classic, general-purpose technology due to the range of their potential applications. Advancement in the engineering of materials is of paramount importance for a myriad of industrial initiatives and for the technological progression of society in general.

I head the Materials and Photonics Systems (MAPS) Group at the University of Dundee. In MAPS, we combine the strengths of materials with advanced photonics, two key strands of technology at extreme scales that enable us to develop and deploy materials and processes at the cutting edge of technology. In this talk, I will briefly introduce a few strands from our group's research towards the manufacture and processing of functional materials with light, for a broad range of applications. The focus will be on some of the emerging and most exciting applications.
