Dr. John Buckeridge
John is a computational materials physicist working as a senior lecturer in the School of Engineering at London South Bank University. He is interested in how charge carriers interact with defects in crystalline systems, in particular semiconductors. His work focuses on materials used in energy applications and high power microelectronics.
A Corkonian residing in the UK, he earned a first-class BSc in physics from University College Cork in 2004. After exploring, he returned for a Ph.D. under Professor Stephen Fahy, developing a method to probe complex defect states in dilute nitride semiconductors. Graduating in 2011, he spent 8 years in UCL's Chemistry Department, collaborating with Professors Richard Catlow, Aron Walsh, and David Scanlon, contributing to an Irish comp. chem. network.
In October 2019, he became a lecturer at LSBU, working as an electronic engineer. Beyond work, he enjoys running, cycling, football, movies, and exploring with his family.
