Douglas J. Paul FRSE FInstP is a Scottish experimental physicist and electronic engineer. He is currently Professor of Semiconductor Devices at the University of Glasgow holding a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies . His career has used microfabrication and nanofabrication to demonstrate semiconductor devices for a range of different applications.
Education
Paul was born and brought up in Greenock attending Ardgowan Primary and Greenock Academy Schools. He studied natural sciences at Churchill College, University of Cambridge before gaining a PhD in physics at the Cavendish Laboratory for work which produced the first single-electron transistor in silicon-germanium . As an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge, he was sponsored by the DTI through the National Engineering Laboratory.
Research and career
Paul first worked in the Semiconductor Physics Group led by Michael Pepper at the Cavendish Laboratory on mesoscopic silicon-germanium nanostructure physics . At the same time he was awarded a research fellowship at St Edmund's College, Cambridge and became the Wine Steward for the College. His first funded research grant as principal investigator was an EC Framework IV project "Silicon Quantum Integrated Circuits (SiQUIC)" in 1997 on heterostructure and strained silicon MOSFETs and SiGe resonant-tunneling diodes before he was awarded an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship in 1998. In 1998 he became a Class A Fellow at St Edmund's College, Cambridge .
Paul started work on SiGe terahertz radiation sources first with DARPA funding in 2000 which delivered the first SiGe terahertz LEDs before additional support from EC and EPSRC grants . At the same time he published work on 2D metal-insulator transitions in MOSFETs , received funding on quantum information processing using defects in MOSFETs with Michael Pepper and Crispin Barnes and worked with Alan Fowler (physicist) at IBM to help de-risk the introduction of high-κ dielectric into the IBM Microelectronics CMOS process .
In 2007, Paul moved to the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Glasgow where he set up the "Semiconductor Devices Group".. He became the first Director of the "James Watt Nanofabrication Centre". in 2010. His research from 2009 included energy harvesting, thermoelectrics and thermal photovoltaics and he led an EC Strategic Research Agenda on Sustainable ICT in 2016 .
In 2013 he started work on photonic integrated circuits for miniaturising atomic systems and his group microfabricated the first Ge on Si single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) photodetector for operation in the short wave infrared before demonstrating the first Ge on Si planar single photon avalanche diode. He also worked with Leroy Cronin and used silicon nanowires with polyoxometalate molecules to demonstrate molecular flash memories .
Paul working with Giles Hammond demonstrated the first MEMS gravimeter . The EC project Newton-g has four of the Glasgow MEMS gravimeters on Mount Etna in Italy trying to image magma movements inside the volcano to see if they can be used to predict when the volcano might erupt.
From 2014 Paul was on the management boards of the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Quantum Enhanced Imaging (QuantiC) and the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology as part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme. He continued in these Hubs in Phase 2 and also joined the EPSRC Quantum Communications Hub . Since 2023 he has been leading an EPSRC Programme Grant aiming to produce a chip-scale quantum navigator .
In July 2024 it was announced that Paul is the principal investigator of the UK Hub for Quantum Enabled Position Navigation and Timing which starts on the 1 December 2024 as part of the phase III Hubs in the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme.
