Daphne Jackson Fellow in the Department of Materials at the Centre for Applied Superconductivity at the University of Oxford.

Name: Dr Clara Barker
Field: Engineering & Technology; Physical Sciences

Specialisms:

Material chemistry
Thin film deposition – depositing thin films, materials with the thickness of a few atoms, onto a surface

Research and qualifications:

BEng in electronic and electrical engineering from Manchester Metropolitan University
PhD in chemistry from Manchester Metropolitan University
Postdoctoral Researcher in PVD processes, materials and thin film science at EMPA Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

Returning to her research after a break of seven years, Clara’s project is titled: “Next-generation superconducting thin-films for quantum devices with off-line quality assessment.” Clara’s research explores how alternate materials can be used to address reliability issues with qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, with the goal of improving quantum computing.
