1 advancing electronics and photonics through interdisciplinary research

2 Advanced Technology Institute The Advanced Technology Institute at Surrey is shaping tomorrow’s technology with a unique blend of applied research inspired by theory, carried out by research teams with broad multidisciplinary research expertise in electronics, physics, material science, chemistry and biology. Addressing the grand challenges in information technology, renewable energy, and health-care technology 3 decades of leading research with significant impact on ICT industries (e.g. rapid thermal annealing, SIMOX, strained layer lasers) Major current activities in nanotechnology, photonics, ion beams and advanced theory & computation Spin outs since 2002: Polarmetrix (Fibre-optic vibration sensors for security applications), SI-LIGHT (Si-based light emitters), QFT (Field emission displays based on laser crystallisation of amorphous silicon), Surrey Nano Systems (Carbon nanotube growth systems )

3 Theory and TAC Advanced Computation Research Groups
