Fabien Massabuau receives Materials Young Investigator Award
Dr Fabien Massabuau, senior lecturer in Physics and leader of the gallium oxide optoelectronic devices group (), has been awarded the .
The Materials Young Investigator Award was established in 2017 to acknowledge the achievements of young investigators in the field of materials science and engineering. The awardees were chosen by a selection committee chaired by the Materials editor-in-chief following a review process. As awardee, Dr. Massabuau will receive an honorarium of CHF 2000, an electronic certificate, as well as an opportunity to publish a paper free of charge in Materials.
Dr Massabuau’s research explores the design and study of emerging ultrawide bandgap semiconductors – focusing on gallium oxide – for next generation UV sensing technologies, which can be used to monitor air/water quality, detect fires, or provide early medical diagnostics.
