David Moran is Professor of Advanced Semiconductors at the University of Glasgow (UoG) and lead of the Advanced Semiconductor Materials and Devices group. His research focuses on the exploration of emerging semiconductor materials for electronic applications. For over 15 years he has worked on the development of single crystal diamond for electronic applications, highlights of which include demonstration of the highest frequency performance diamond transistor produced at the time and pioneering of new techniques for high performance and temperature-stable transfer doping in diamond.
