Professor of Semiconductor Devices, Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, University of Glasgow
Professor Douglas Paul is world renowned for his pioneering work in developing new sensors across a range of applications. He was the first to demonstrate microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gravimeters, starting the field of MEMS gravimetry and inspiring companies across the globe to develop and sell MEMS gravimeters. His innovative process for making efficient germanium-on-silicon single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) photodetectors is now being used by many global semiconductor multinationals to develop short-wave infrared cameras for a wide range of applications. His leadership in the quantum technology field includes defining quantum technology in UK legislation.
