Daniel Wolverson

Daniel Wolverson is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Bath, leading research in quantum materials and optical spectroscopy. He is affiliated with the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and NanoBioPhotonics, with a focus on semiconductor physics and sustainable technologies.

Research Interests: His work explores quantum-confined electronic states in semiconductors, including 2D layered materials like rhenium-based dichalcogenides. Using Raman microscopy, magneto-Raman scattering, photoluminescence, and angle-resolved photoemission (nano-ARPES), his group investigates phenomena such as charge density waves, magneto-elastic coupling, and excitonic interactions, supported by density functional theory modeling on Bath’s supercomputer.

Research Output Trends: Recent publications emphasize charge density wave dynamics (2024), hyper-Raman optical activity in 2D materials, and engineering piezoelectric properties in lead-free ceramics. His work spans experimental and computational approaches, with collaborations involving synchrotrons like SOLEIL and DIAMOND.

Labs & Collaborations: Research is conducted at Bath’s advanced laboratories and international facilities, integrating academic/industrial sample provision and computational resources. Projects include EPSRC-funded graphene nanosensors and Royal Society-funded air pollution particle analysis.
