Principal Scientist

NPL

Dr Sebastian Wood (CPhys) is a Principal Scientist at the National Physical Laboratory (UK) working in the field of metrology for emerging semiconductor materials. He is a UK Expert on international standards committees and has led multiple projects supporting companies to develop new technologies and products through the provision of advanced nanometrology of novel semiconductor materials and devices. He is currently the coordinator of a €1.7M European project developing novel metrology for the manufacture of compound semiconductor materials for power electronics (EMPIR ‘PowerElec’), where he is leading a consortium of 13 partner organisations from industry, academia, and metrology communities. This project is developing new metrological instruments and methods for high-throughput and high-sensitivity characterisation of wide bandgap materials.
