George Serghiou in the School of Engineering together with colleagues from the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh and researchers at three other leading research institutions in Germany and France, removed reactivity barriers between germanium (Ge) and tin (Sn) to create a new bulk cubic material, called GeSn.
Chancellors Fellows in the ‘Materials and Manufacture’ theme will pursue research that has a strong application focus, probably involving industrial and/or end-user partners. The fellows will draw upon areas of current research excellence across Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics and Mathematics.
George Serghiou in the School of Engineering together with colleagues from the School of Geoscience and seven other leading Universities and Research Institutions in France, Germany and the US used a new synthetic approach which can be likened to mathematical applications in game theory (Nash equilibrium), to make unreactive starting materials reactive.
