Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems
The Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS) combines technology and chip design to address applications in biomedical, biomimetic, quantum, energy, advanced and neural computation.
Our researchers use micro and nano fabrication, micro and nano-electronics & photonics, integrated with bespoked circuits and system-on-chip designs to create smart micro- and nano-systems.
The R&D portfolio covers the complete spectrum of microelectronics, from design to fabrication. It includes the in-house capability to process foundry wafers to create novel systems that defy Moore's law of doubling semiconductors on chips, creating more-than-Moore solutions, and deploying those solutions in a broad range of applications.
Our next-generation technology has allowed our researchers to create innovative designs which have secured strategic capital investments. These assets include a maskless lithography tool, deep etch technology for silicon vias, wafer thinning equipment, resist spray coating units, atomic layer deposition machine, XPS/Raman surface analysis tool. Our research institute was the first facility in the United Kingdom to install the Heidelberg Nano (formerly SwissLitho) NanoFrazor Explore nanolithography tool. The recent acquisition will serve to open new avenues of research ideas and direction.

PhD in Data Science
Information about the PhD in Data Science.
Progression to the PhD in Data Science
Progression from the first year MSc by Research to your PhD is contingent on making satisfactory academic progress during the first year. In general, if you have a mark of 65% or above on both your coursework and dissertation, we will consider this evidence of satisfactory progress. If your marks are below this, you may still be allowed to progress, but only if we can be otherwise satisfied that you have the ability to successfully complete a PhD. These decisions will be taken by the CDT in Data Science Executive Committee, most likely towards the end of August.
Data Science Executive Committee
In addition to the successful completion of the MSc by Research programme (Year 1), progression to the PhD in Data Science is contingent on the approval of an outline PhD project proposal proposal within the first few months of Year 2. Guidelines and deadline dates can be found here:
Preparing & submitting your outline PhD project proposal
Actions to take once your outline PhD project proposal has been approved
PhD Guidelines & Milestones
After the approval of their PhD projects, CDT in Data Science students are governed by the same procedures as any other PhD student, as described in the Informatics Graduate School (IGS) webpages, and should ensure they meet the guidelines as outlined in the Monitoring links below:
- Information for Informatics PhD students
- PhD yearly timelines
- Formal student monitoring
- Researcher's handbook
- Archived PhD theses
- Submitting your thesis
- Finally, when you leave...
It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements and milestones for PhD students and should discuss any questions you have with your supervisor(s).
Pastoral Care: Your supervisors, and/or your 3rd panel member, can also provide you with pastoral support should you need it at any point during your research. In addition the deputy director of the CDT has the primary role of representing student interests and providing a one-to-one point of contact for any CDT student who has any issue they wish to talk about. You also have access to any member of staff in the Graduate School, in particular the Head of Student Services, the Deputy Head of Graduate School and CDT Administrator.

May 10, 2024: Jenny Yang (UC Irvine)
CO2 Capture, Concentration, and Conversion Addressing the rising levels of anthropogenic CO2 in our atmosphere is a major scientific challenge. I will discuss our work on capture, concentration and conversion of CO2 using electrochemical techniques. Specifically, I will discuss the conversion of concentrated CO2 to liquid fuels using transition metal electrocatalysts and thermodynamic considerations important for product selectivity. Additionally, I will discuss important parameters for air-stable electrochemical CO2 capture using quinone redox carriers and the use of electrolyte engineering to tune molecular properties. Finally, progress and directions in the Center for Closing the Carbon Cycle (4C) EFRC, which is focused on integrated CO2 capture and conversion, will be discussed.
