Dr. Emanuele Pelucchi, Head of group, SFI PI, Tyndall National Institute-UCC. Head of Epitaxy and Physics of Nanostructures (EPN) group, and responsible of the MOVPE facility.

Dr. Pelucchi has very broad interests, spanning from surface science and epitaxy to quantum optics. He has acquired a major role in MOVPE epitaxy, having developed world leading III-V material quality and growth process understanding, while uniquely developing and demonstrating arrays of site-controlled quantum dots and entangled photon emitters.

Research Interests in short: Quantum technologies, Interface physics, epitaxial growth (MBE and MOVPE) of III-V and II-VI materials, modelling of growth processes and physics, quantum dot physics, quantum dot photonic devices, quantum optics, photonic integration.

Dr Pelucchi started his PhD in April 1997, working in the field of surface science and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) His research covered MBE of II-VI materials on III-V substrates, photoemission applied to interface physics and metal-semiconductor Schottky barriers. He moved to Lausanne (EPFL) in 2001 as a research assistant (post-doc), in the group of Professor Eli Kapon. He participated to the development of the research concerning metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of site controlled III-V nanostructures, working on both V-groove quantum wires and Pyramidal QDs. In May 2006 Dr Pelucchi was awarded with a Science Foundation Ireland Principal Investigator Grant. In January 2007 moved to Tyndall National Institute.
