Sean Egan
PhD Student · London Centre for Nanotechnology and Department of Physics & Astronomy · UCL
Sean joined the group in October 2025 as a PhD student funded through the UCL EPSRC Landscape Awards (UELA) with collaborative funding from the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). His project, Atomic-Scale Quantum Science for Scalable Quantum Technology, addresses the challenge of achieving scalable qubits by exploring silicon- and germanium-based atomic-scale devices.
His research combines cryogenic scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and atomic-scale fabrication at UCL with advanced photoelectron and lithographic methods at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). The project is co-supervised by Steven Schofield (UCL) and Yasin Ekinci (PSI).
