Researchers

Prof. B J Hickey

University of Leeds

B J Hickey is the PI of CAMIE.

His research interests include spintronics, carbon-based electronics, thin film magnetism, solid state quantum entanglement.

Within CAMIE he will supervise work on Weyl and Heusler semimetals.

Prof. Marty Gregg

Queen's University Belfast

Marty Gregg is a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science. His research to date has mainly concerned nanoscale ferroelectrics, or nanoscale features in ferroelectric microstructures.

In CAMIE, he is supervising research associated with emergent interface physics and coupling phenomena, where at least one of the materials involved is a ferroelectric (with intense surface or interfacial electrostatic charge densities).

He is leader of WP4 on Transport.

Prof. Sandrine Heutz

Imperial College London
WP3 leader

Dr. Joseph Barker

University of Leeds

Dr. Joseph Barker is an Associate Professor and Royal Society University Research Fellow working on theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. His main focus is on atomistic modelling of magnetic materials, with a particular emphasis on spintronics and ultrafast magnetism. His research integrates advanced computational methods to explore novel magnetic phenomena relevant to next-generation technologies.

In CAMIE he is Leader of Work Package 2 on theory.

Prof. Andy Bell

University of Leeds
WP6 leader

Prof. Robert Bowman

Queen's University Belfast

Robert Bowman holds a Seagate Technology / RAEng research Chair in Advanced Materials for Data Storage. In addition he leads the Queen’s University Belfast portion of Smart Nano NI – a UKRI Strength in Places Fund programme in photonics.

Within CAMIE he will take a lead on impact and engagement.

Prof. Gavin Burnell

Dr. Shelly Conroy

Imperial College London

Prof. Christopher Marrows

University of Leeds

Christopher Marrows is Professor of Condensed Matter Physics, Director of Research and Innovation in School of Physics and Astronomy, and Theme Lead for Electronic and Photonic Materials in the Bragg Centre for Materials Research at the University of Leeds. He was Wohlfarth Lecturer in 2011 and will chair the 12th International Symposium for Metallic Multilayers at Leeds in 2025. His current research interests include magnetic skyrmions, spin torque effects, artificial spin ices, and topological materials.

In CAMIE he is Leader of Work Package 5 on spin manipulation.

Dr. Thomas Moore

University of Leeds

Dr. Satoshi Sasaki

University of Leeds

Satoshi's research involves characterising van der Waals materials for implementing new functional materials, e.g., topological insulators and 2-dimensional perpendicular magnetic anisotropy materials heterostructures.
