Robinson Fellow awarded £2.5M to develop future technologies
Robinson Fellow, Professor Rachel Oliver, has been awarded £2.5M by the Royal Academy of Engineering to develop her work on porous semiconductors. Funded by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Chair in Emerging Technologies scheme aims to identify global research visionaries and provide them with long-term support. The award will enable Oliver, Professor of Materials Science and Director of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride, to focus on strategic approaches for taking her technology from the bench to the boardroom.
