Christopher A. Broderick

Chris is a Royal Society-Research Ireland University Research Fellow, and Lecturer (Above the Bar) in Quantum & Photonics, at the School of Physics, University College Cork. He is also a Principal Investigator with the Photonics Theory Group at Tyndall National Institute.

His research interests centre on the theory of novel and emerging semiconductor material systems for photonic, electronic and photovoltaic applications, with a view to delivering enhanced performance and new capabilities in next-generation semiconductor technologies. This involves multi-scale simulation combining first-principles and empirical methodologies, alongside the development of models and software that enable predictive calculations of technologically relevant material and nanostructure properties.
