Professor Oliver Williams holds a Personal Chair in Experimental Physics at Cardiff University's School of Physics and Astronomy, leading the Condensed Matter and Photonics Group. His research focuses on diamond materials, superconductivity, and quantum technologies. He established the Cardiff Diamond Foundry, the UK's largest diamond growth group, pioneering applications in MEMS, thermal management, and single photon sources.
- Education: PhD in Electronic Properties of Diamond (UCL, 2003)
- Postdoctoral roles at Argonne National Lab and IMEC Belgium
- Fraunhofer Attract Award recipient (2010)
- Marie Curie Fellow (2011–present)
Research interests include diamond-based superconductors, nanodiamond quantum sensors, and heterogeneous integration of diamond with semiconductors. Key projects involve GaN-on-diamond electronics and SAW resonators on ScAlN/diamond substrates.
Recent publications explore in situ diamond deposition on III-nitrides, superconducting diamond circuits, and nanodiamond-based supercapacitors. His work aligns with Cardiff's £106M quantum hub investment (2024).
