Nanoporous siloxane membranes for ultrasound mediated ophthalmic drug delivery. This project will develop tailored polymers for use in a novel non-invasive ocular drug delivery device which treats vision threatening conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The outcomes of this project will enable an entirely new ocular drug delivery technology, thereby delivering significant benefit to ophthalmic healthcare.
Ferroelectric piezoelectric materials and key problems associated with their applications in mechanical, electrical and optical energy transformations. This project aims to investigate the dynamic microstructure of ferroelectric piezoelectric materials in response to electrical fields or mechanical stresses, and therefore identify the factors enhancing the mechanical, electrical and optical couplings for intentional improvement and development of these materials for use in energy transformations ....Ferroelectric piezoelectric materials and key problems associated with their applications in mechanical, electrical and optical energy transformations.

Development of high performance III-V semiconductor photoconductive antennas for terahertz applications. The practical applications of terahertz (THz) radiation include scientific probing for material characterisation, screening for weapons, explosives and biohazards, imaging for concealed objects and medical diagnostics, chemical and biological analysis, astronomy and space research. The success of this project will lead to the creation of a new generation of high performance THz emitters/detec ....Development of high performance III-V semiconductor photoconductive antennas for terahertz applications.
