Matthew Sharpe

Matthew Sharpe is a Researcher at the University of Surrey's Surrey Ion Beam Centre, specializing in Ion Beam Analysis and materials characterization for advanced technologies. His work spans semiconductor devices, radiation effects, and environmental science applications.

• PhD from University of Surrey (2020) on photodetector development

Research focuses on Time-of-Flight Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ToF-ERDA) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) for depth profiling and elemental characterization. Key areas include:

• Radiation resilience in perovskite solar cells for space applications
• PFAS contamination in fire suppression systems
• Surface analysis of polymer films and oxide materials
• Hydrogen dynamics in ReRAM devices

Publications highlight his expertise in ion beam techniques applied to energy technologies, adhesives, and environmental remediation. He co-supervises postgraduate researchers and advises MPhys interns.
