About
Dr Roland Gillen received his PhD (EEE) from the University of Cambridge and a MEng equivalent degree in Engineering Science from the Technical University Berlin, Germany.
He is interested in the electronic, optical and vibrational properties of semiconductor materials and their applicability for energy-efficient electronic devices. To this end, modern theoretical spectroscopy methods are used for computational characterization, complementing experimental investigations in the context of various collaborations.
A particular research focus lies on novel one- and two-dimensional nanomaterials and on functional heterostructures between semiconductor materials.
