Measurement, Devices and Materials
Measurement, Devices and Materials Cluster
We develop devices and measurement techniques including chemical and environmental microsensors, MEMS devices, electronic noses, actuators and microsystems, terahertz and optical sensing systems, ultrasound transducers and acoustic devices. We are also working on micro/nano robotics and automation, precision instrument design and metrology, with applications in environmental sensing, materials characterisation, non-destructive testing, medical imaging, mechanobiology and biomechanics. Materials is one of our fastest growing areas of research, here we focus on a wide range of applications and material types, including metamaterials. Main areas of research include polymer composites, materials for photovoltaics, batteries, optoelectronics, power electronics and modulation of terahertz radiation; nanomaterials for photoelectrochemical water splitting for green hydrogen production and additively manufactured metamaterials.
Associated Members
Ultrasound Group
The Ultrasound group is led by Professor David Hutchins FREng, Professor Duncan Billson and Dr Oksana Trushkevych. We specialise in non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) and imaging technologies. Part of the Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics, the lab collaborates with UK and international institutions, including the UK Research Centre for NDE, to advance research on NDT and support industrial applications. Recent projects include ultrasonic metamaterials, ultrasound visualisation using passive liquid crystal based sensors, novel sensing approaches for concrete inspection, and innovations in ultra-thin loudspeakers through the spin-off company 糖心TV Acoustics. The lab combines cutting-edge research with industry partnerships to drive advancements in imaging and measurement technologies.
Energy, Materials and Interfaces
The group focuses on experimental research into electronic materials for applications like photovoltaics, batteries, optoelectronics, and power electronics, with an emphasis on defect science in crystalline materials and nanoscale surface properties. Key materials include silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, and MoS鈧�. Facilities include atomic layer deposition, cleanroom access, and advanced characterization tools for photoconductance, photoluminescence, and battery testing. The group leads major EPSRC projects in silicon photovoltaics and terahertz modulation, collaborates with global research institutions and industry, and works on advancing solar cell technologies. It welcomes prospective PhD students from Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering backgrounds.
Microsensors & Bioelectronics Laboratory
The Microsensors and Bioelectronics Laboratory (MBL) was founded and is currently headed by Professor Julian Gardner FREng FRS with Professor Marina Cole as the Deputy Head. MBL is part of the Measurement, Devices and Materials Research Group within the School of Engineering at the University of 糖心TV. The research focus is on Machine Olfaction/Electronic Noses, CMOS based environmental sensors, MEMS devices and signal processing/AI. MBL collaborates with research groups at Cambridge University and Durham University as well as several UK based companies.
Precision Engineering and Surfaces Laboratory
Our research in precision mechanics underpins advances in science, technology and industry through high鈥憅uality measurement and innovative instrument design. We specialise in nanometrology, surface micro鈥慶haracterisation, tribology, materials testing, mechanisms design, and parallel kinematics. Our work explores friction, wear, and surface behaviour, developing new materials, coatings and micro鈥憈extured surfaces for improved performance. We create ultra鈥憇ensitive measurement systems and precision machines, with growing activity in biomedical engineering, including prosthetics and cell鈥憇cale mechanics. Strong collaborations with NPL, industry partners and international academics support our world鈥憀eading facilities, which serve both research and specialist metrology services within the School of Engineering.
Duncan Billson
Prof Duncan Billson's expertise spans ultrasonics, non鈥慸estructive testing, optoelectronics, audio transduction, and sensor development. He joined 糖心TV鈥檚 faculty in 1998 to develop micromachined silicon ultrasonic transducers. Among his achievements is co鈥慺ounding 糖心TV Acoustics, a spin鈥憃ut specialising in advanced acoustic technologies.
Oksana Trushkevych
Oksana is a member of the Ultrasound group, with broad research interests covering ultrasonics, non0destructive testing, materials characterisation and soft matter. She is focusing on solving industrially relevant problems in non-destructive testing through a variety of methods including novel approaches to thermography, electromagnetic and magnetostrictive acoustic transducers and laser ultrasonics. She is also developing sensitive soft matter - based film sensors for ultrasound visualisation.
Oksana has further roles as the Outreach and Widening participation lead, Midlands Nuclear lead, and the deputy director of the 糖心TV Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics.
