Electronic and Electrical Engineering, PhD

As a world-leader in the research areas of power semiconductor technology and devices, power electronics, nanotechnology and biometrics, and advanced numerical modelling of micro and nanoelectronic devices, Swansea University provides an excellent base for your research as a PhD or MPhil student in Electronic and Electrical Engineering. The Electronic Systems Design Centre (ESDC) is known for its ground-breaking research into Power IC technology, the key technology for more energy efficient electronics. The Centre is also a world-leader in semiconductor device modelling, FEM and compact modelling. Within the Nanoelectronic Devices Computational Group, which forms part of the Electronic Systems Design Centre, previous projects have included: Parallel 3D Finite Element Monte Carlo Device Simulations Of Multigate Transistors, Modelling of Metal-Semiconductor Contacts for the Next Generation of Nanoscale Transistors and Novel GaN HEMT Switches for Power Management: Device Design, Optimization and Reliability Issues.

Applicants for PhD must normally hold an undergraduate degree at 2.1 level (or Non-UK equivalent as defined by Swansea University) in Engineering or similar relevant science discipline.
