Jesson (Chair of Experimental Physics &amp; Marie Curie Fellow):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>My research is internationally recognised for the combination of cutting-edge electron microscopy techniques and theoretical modelling to investigate semiconductor nanostructures and thin film growth mechanisms. My most recent work has focused on nanodynamics and the design and application of a III-V surface electron microscope which is having a major impact on our understanding of how compound semiconductor materials and quantum structures grow. We have obtained the first experimental movies of how such structures form under arsenic flux and the Cardiff III-V low energy electron microscope (LEEM) is the only instrument in the world with this capability. In addition to state-of-the-art experiments, we have also developed a parallel program focused on the physics of LEEM imaging which has allowed us to quantify our movies and develop new techniques for extracting 3D information from them which was previously assumed impossible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yuran Niu (Postoctoral Research Associate):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expert on Low Energy Electron Microscopy and Synchrotron based experimental techniques.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/leemlab.cf.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pic_dani.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-154\" src=\"http:\/\/leemlab.cf.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pic_dani.jpg\" alt=\"pic_dani\" width=\"94\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Daniel Gomez Sanchez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">My field of interest have been so far III-V semiconductors.
