Prof Sandrine Heutz

Prof Sandrine Heutz

Prof Sandrine Heutz is on the management board of the CPE and is leading our theme on emerging technologies. Sandrine is based in materials and her research interests are focused on magnetic properties of molecular thin films, spintronic applications, novel fabrication methods for oxides, detailed structural characterisation of films and interfaces, and nanowire devices.

Prof Matthew Fuchter

Prof Matthew Fuchter

Prof Matthew Fuchter in the Chemistry Department is Champion of this theme. One of the most active areas of research within Matt's group is the exploration of ways in which chiral materials can be used to enable/improve function in a range of technological applications, particularly organic electronic devices.
