Dr Kun Peng

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working in Condensed Matter Physics. I received my PhD in the group of Distinguished Prof Chennupati Jagadish at the Australian National University (ANU). In November 2017, I joined Prof Michael Johnston’s Oxford THz Photonics Group. My research specialises in the development of nanomaterials for electronic and optoelectronic applications with a particular focus on the use of III-V semiconductor nanowires for terahertz (THz) detection. My current research interests lie in exploring the nature of one-dimensional nanomaterials  (such as nanowires, nanorods and nanotubes) and exploiting their exceptional properties for THz applications (such as THz sources, detectors and modulators).
