University of Warwick (United Kingdom)

The University of Warwick is one of the UK's top rated research universities. The NanoSilicon Group, in the Department of Physics, has an international reputation established over some 20 years for pioneering work on silicon based epitaxy, the production and characterisation of strained layer materials. The Group has been involved in establishing and coordinating national and international research, including many European Framework projects, and has considerable experience in engaging with both academics and industry on issues of technology advance using strained materials.
