Profile photo 
Upload your profile photo in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels. 

Name 
To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab)  If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in Subscribe (opens in a new tab).

Job title 
Raise a request through ServiceNow (opens in a new tab) to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through Ask HR (opens in new tab). If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

Research interests (for researchers only) 
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.

About

Dr Noori is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) within the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, UK. His research group develops deep learning tools for modelling semiconductor nanofabrication processes, working in collaboration with chip and fabrication equipment manufacturers. His research background also includes nanomaterials, integrated photonics and quantum devices. Dr Noori is a Chartered Physicist (CPhys), Chartered Engineer (CEng), a Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), a Certified Practitioner in Project Management (PRINCE2), a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). He is an elected committee member of the IOP Semiconductor Physics group and the IOP Quantum Optics, Quantum Information, and Quantum Control group. Dr Noori has been a PI on £1.0m and Co-I on £2.5m on research projects, published in over 50 journal papers, 60 conferences, 2 patents and 2 book chapters. He has over 10 invited talks and was a committee member of several international conferences.

He previously worked as a Senior Research Fellow on multiple EPSRC programme grants, Advanced Devices by ElectroPlaTing (ADEPT), and Quantum Dots on Silicon (QUDOS) where he demonstrated the first electroplating of metal-chalcogenide phase change materials in memory crossbar arrays. He was also a Research Associate at Lancaster University, where he developed GaAs-based high-energy particle detectors. He was also a Visiting Researcher at the University of Puebla in Mexico, a Consultant for CORNERSTONE and a Carnegie Undergraduate Vocational Researcher at the Institute of Medical Science and Technology (IMSaT).

In 2017, He obtained his PhD in Integrated Photonics and Quantum Communications from Lancaster University after winning several prestigious conference awards. In 2013, He received a first-class (Honours) degree from the University of Dundee in Electronic Engineering and Physics, winning three Duff & Garland prizes and class medals for achieving top academic performance in years 1-3.
