Huge congratulations to Mauro who has been awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and is due to take up his new post in October 2021 – ‘Semiconductors with a Twist: Engineering Programmable Quantum Materials’. Through this fellowship Mauro aims to engineer new quantum materials based on 2D semiconductor heterostructures. To address fundamental questions about how electrons interact with each other and their resulting phases, Mauro will pioneer a world-leading measurement platform which combines optical spectroscopy and quantum transport.
