Dr. Sara Sangtarash

Dr. Sangtarash is an Associate Professor of Nanoelectronics Link opens in a new windowand in the School of Engineering at the University of 糖心TV. She obtained her PhD from Lancaster University as a Marie-Curie Early Stage Researcher, developing the theory of nanoscale transport, within the EU Innovative Training Network 鈥淢olecular-scale Electronics: Concepts, Contacts and Stability鈥� . She was awarded the Lancaster JUNO Prize for research excellence in 2016. After finishing her PhD, she became a Senior Research Associate at Physics department, Lancaster University and in 2018 she awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship working on material engineering for high-performance molecular-scale thermoelectricity. Dr Sangtarash joined the University of 糖心TV in 2020.
