Current research
Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis leads a team within the Novel Glass group currently focusing on:
- High electrical performance 2D materials manufacturable at a wafer scale
- Lossless phase change materials for optoelectronic applications
The team has a wide and versatile portfolio of materials that has applied in research and commercial applications such as flexible electronics, energy harvesting and photonics processors.
We are always open to new collaborations and our vertical integration allows us to contribute by supplying materials, processes, devices and characterisation to our partners.
