Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Grant is an Assistant Professor in Engineering at the University of Warwick with a PhD in Photovoltaics from the Australian National University and over a decade of focused research in silicon solar cells, low-temperature passivation, and novel thin-film materials. He established and leads a research group pursuing renewable energy technologies spanning solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, metamaterials and 2D materials, while teaching sustainable energy at master's level and supervising multiple PhD and undergraduate projects. His work bridges fundamental defect physics—developing methods to detect and annihilate bulk silicon defects—and applied device engineering, including THz photomodulators and studies of LeTID in Ga-doped silicon. Having transitioned from funded postdoctoral work in Australia to senior research roles in the UK, he brings a blend of hands-on experimental skill and programme-building experience, now expanding into energy storage and metamaterials with an eye for interdisciplinary translation.
