Binding: Hardcover

About the author Dr Colm Durkan is the founder and Head of the Applied Nanoscience and Nanoscale Engineering research group at the Nanoscience Centre of the University of Cambridge. He is also a fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. He obtained his primary degree and PhD in Physics from Trinity College Dublin. After spending a postdoctoral stint at Konstanz University in Germany, he came to work in Cambridge in 1997 where he has been ever since. He has been a university lecturer with full tenure since July 2000 and a Reader in Nanoscale Engineering since October 2010. At the university, he has developed and taught courses on nanotechnology, quantum mechanics and electronics. He was elected to a fellowship of the Institute of Physics in 2009 and the Institute of Engineering & Technology in 2014 for his work in nanotechnology. Colm's research interests lie in understanding how and why the properties of materials change dramatically when those materials are of nanometer dimensions and how to make practical use of that, and in the properties of surfaces. He has led industrial collaborations with BP, Unilever, Samsung and Nokia, and loves nothing more than exploring new phenomena in the lab. Colm lives in Cambridge with his family.
