Adam McKenzie is a Royal Commission Exhibition 1851 Research Fellow at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow. His research interests include the metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth of III-V semiconductors for photonics applications. McKenzie completed his PhD focusing on the MOVPE regrowth of nanostructured devices, particularly in the development of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSELs). His PhD research was funded by the 1851 Industrial Fellowship and was conducted in conjunction with his senior engineering roles at Sivers Photonics and as a KTP Associate with Vector Photonics in partnership with the University of Glasgow. He also held a JSPS Summer Fellowship at the University of Tokyo, where he expanded his work on MOVPE processes. McKenzie’s research initiatives cover the development of distributed feedback (DFB) lasers and advanced electron microscopy techniques including FIB-SEM, STEM, and EELS. Currently, he is focused on developing void-retaining epitaxy (VRE) for next-generation photonic platforms.
