Michael Godfrey is a lecturer in Physics at the University of Manchester. His research primarily focuses on semiconductor theory, the dynamics of carrier relaxation, localization, and recombination within semiconductor microstructures. He has a profound interest in the processes of carrier capture and thermionic emission in quantum wells and dots, as well as the effective mass and k·p approximations that are essential for understanding many-body effects in dense gases of carriers. His work involves theoretical description of transitional regimes using both the Schrödinger equation and Monte Carlo methods, with a particular emphasis on simplifying Green's-function techniques and accounting for the interactions of carriers with optical phonons. Godfrey's recent research aims to quantitatively assess additional scattering mechanisms that affect carrier de-phasing in real systems.
Includes MSc in Advanced Electrical Power Systems and MSc in Communications and Signal Processing.
