About me

I have been working as a research associate in the Physics Department at Lancaster University since July 2021. I is also pursuing my PhD in Physics at Lancaster University, UK, as part of the QUANTIMONY project under the EU Innovative Training Network. My research focuses on the development of telecoms-wavelength GaSb quantum ring single-photon light-emitting diodes (SPLEDs) for quantum communication advancements. Currently, I am the entrepreneur lead on a project focused on quantum rings: low-cost single photon sources for next- generation telecom networks, funded by the Innovate UK ICURe programme. According to the Innovate UK ICURe programme, which is a pre-accelerator programme for researchers, I conduct market exploration. I’m on the lookout for potential partners, investors, and customers.
