Professor Martin Weides he/him

My research passion is creating better solutions for today’s most pressing challenges in critical technologies, particularly quantum and classical computing for Net Zero. My career has taken me across leading international institutions in Europe and the US, where I have built expertise in superconducting devices, quantum technologies, and nanofabrication.

My group develops nanoelectronics and ultra-small circuits operated at sub-Kelvin temperatures, working closely with the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC) and collaborating widely across universities, national labs, and industry — from startups to established companies — with our own spinouts in the pipeline.

I am especially interested in CDT projects around Net Zero nanofabrication, building on the advanced capabilities of the JWNC. These projects will be strongly interdisciplinary, bridging physics, engineering, materials science, and computing. I would like to supervise projects that combine deep technical innovation with sustainability impact, supporting students through strong mentoring while encouraging independence and creativity.

EDI is central to my work. I am committed to building an inclusive research culture where diverse voices and perspectives can thrive, ensuring equitable opportunities for all.

I see myself as a world-changing academic, motivated not just by advancing science but by addressing global challenges in sustainability, technology, and equity.
