Prof Driscoll awarded £2M ERC Advanced Grant

Prof Judith Driscoll has received a £2M ERC Advanced Grant for work on nanostructured electronic materials.  She is also spearheading joint work of her team, as well as those of other Cambridge ERC Advanced Grant holders – Profs Jeremy Baumberg and Mete Atatüre of the Cavendish Laboratory, on low-energy IT devices.  “My approach uses a different way of designing and creating oxide nano-scale film structures with different materials to both create new electronic device functions as well as much more reliable and uniform existing functions” says Judith. “Cambridge is a fantastic place that enables all our approaches to come together, driven by cohorts of inspirational young researchers in our UK-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology – the NanoDTC”.  Her project is titled EROS – Efficient & Robust Oxide Switching.
