Current interests

Patrick's research interest is on the design and fabrication of exploratory semiconductor devices for photonic and electronic applications, e.g. monolithic single ion trap, solid state single photon emitters and detectors, high current density resonant tunnelling diodes.

Biography

Patrick See received the BEng (Hons) degree from the Imperial College London (1995) and completed his PhD in Physics at the University of Cambridge (1999).

He is currently a Senior Research Scientist with the Quantum Detection Group. Prior to this position, he was a Research Scientist at the Quantum Information Group, Toshiba Research Europe (2001-2007) and before that, a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge (1999-2001).
