Matthew Cole

Matthew Cole is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath. His research focuses on nanomaterials, particularly 1D and 2D materials synthesized via CVD, flexible electronics, and electron emission technologies. He leads projects in areas like 2D nanomaterials integration and graphene-enhanced materials through initiatives such as G2lass (Graphene Enhanced GlaFlake). Cole holds a Doctor of Engineering from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Engineering from the University of Oxford.

• Education: PhD in Nanoelectronics (Cambridge, 2011), MEng in Electronic Engineering (Oxford, 2008)

His research interests span nanomaterial growth, biosensors, and novel electronics architectures. Key projects include developing advanced X-ray sources using nano field-emitting cathodes and optimizing terahertz radiation systems. Cole has contributed to over 80 peer-reviewed publications and serves as a grant reviewer for organizations like the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

He leads multiple funded projects, including EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnerships and industry collaborations. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to innovation and infrastructure. Cole is also an external PhD examiner at Imperial College London and the Commonwealth Scholarship Council.

Labs/Teams: Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Electronics Materials, Circuits & Systems Research Unit (EMaCS), and the Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS).
