Personal profile
Overview
Maddison Coke is currently a Senior Technical Specialist at the University of Manchester.
After obtaining an MSci in Chemistry from Imperial College, moved to the LCN @ UCL to do a PhD with Prof Paul Warburton in the electronic properties of zinc oxide and related materials grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. After successfully obtaining her PhD she then went to work as an Experimental Officer at the National Graphene Institute @ University of Manchester, focusing on plasma deposition and etching in their state of the art cleanrooms. From here she moved to the Photon Science Institute to work as a senior technical specialist with Prof Rich Curry on the Platform for nanoscale advanced materials engineering with a focus on atomic scale manipulation and detection for applications ranging from Quantum computing to topological insulators.
