Background

Dr Andrew Kennedy received his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge respectively. He joined the Faculty at Nottingham in 1994 where his research has focussed mostly on the fabrication, characterisation and testing of metal matrix composites and, in the last 10 years, porous metals and metal foams.

His research interests within metal foams are principally centred upon manufacturing technologies for making innovative porous metal and metal foam structures and strategies for cost reduction. He has authored more than 30 papers relating to metal foams and porous metals and is a consultant to industry.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
