Our research groups

We explore experimentally emergent properties of quantum magnetic materials and quantum phase transitions using neutron scattering and thermodynamic probes

The quantum magnonics research group develops low-temperature microwave magnetic circuits to probe the physics of magnonic systems at the quantum level.

Our research uses high magnetic fields, low temperatures, high pressures and strain to probe novel electronic, superconducting and topological phases of quantum matter. These studies are combined with ARPES and DFT calculations.

Our group's main interests have been in making optical measurements on wide-bandgap semiconductors and low-dimensional systems such as quantum dots, wires and wells.

We explore quantum coherent phenomena in condensed matter spin systems

Research in our group focuses on theoretical studies of quantum optical platforms including ultracold atoms, ion traps and cavities as well as quantum materials whose non-equilibrium dynamics can be controlled by ultrafast optics.

Biophysics and biochemistry to unravel the dynamics of replication

Information on the Oxford involvement in the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Research in the Herz group explores the fundamental science and applications of semiconducting materials and nanostructures ranging from organic molecules and solids, III-V inorganic semiconductors & nanostructures, to hybrid metal halide perovskites.

The Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic device group is led by Prof Henry Snaith. Our main interest is in metal halide perovskites for photovoltaic and light emitting applications.
