Biography

Brief Bio

Dr Carlos García Núñez is Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering at the University of Glasgow’s James Watt School of Engineering. He is Co-Director of the Microelectronics Laboratory (meLAB) and leads the Smart Materials Group. A Chartered Engineer and experimental physicist, he has more than 15 years of experience in the development of thin films, semiconductor nanowires, graphene and other nanostructured functional materials.

His research operates at the interface of materials science, photonics and electronic engineering, connecting materials synthesis and deposition with advanced characterisation, modelling, device integration and prototype development. His research programme is organised around three interconnected themes: Photonics and Optoelectronics, Functional Nanomaterials, and Energy and Self-Powered Systems. Together, these themes support a distinctive research vision focused on engineering light, matter and energy through multifunctional materials.

Current research activities include semiconductor-nanowire and three-dimensional graphene photodetectors; high-reflectivity, low-loss and antireflection optical coatings; piezoelectric and triboelectric thin films; energy-harvesting devices; self-powered sensors; and tribophotonic and electro-optic systems. These technologies have applications in gravitational-wave detection, quantum and biosensing technologies, healthcare, sustainable energy, intelligent sensing and human–machine interfaces.

Since obtaining his first academic appointment in 2018, Dr García Núñez has established an independent and internationally connected research programme, leading multidisciplinary projects with academic and industrial partners across the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Asia. His work spans fundamental investigation of material–property relationships through to functional demonstrators, intellectual property and commercial translation.

Dr García Núñez received his BSc in Physics in 2009 and MSc in Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology in 2010 from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). He subsequently joined UAM’s Electronics and Semiconductors Group under a competitive Spanish FPI Fellowship, obtaining his PhD in Physics summa cum laude in 2015. His doctoral research focused on electronic devices based on Zn₃N₂ thin films and ZnO and GaAs nanowires and included research secondments at the University of Alabama and the Walter Schottky Institute (Munich, Germany).

In 2015, he joined the University of Glasgow as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, working initially on printed semiconductor nanowires, flexible electronics and electronic skin, and subsequently on the optoelectronic assembly of nanostructures for energy-storage applications. In 2018, he was appointed Lecturer in Physics at the University of the West of Scotland, where he joined the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging. He returned to the University of Glasgow as Lecturer in Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering in 2023 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2025.

He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), Member of the Institute of Physics (MInstP) and Senior Member of the IEEE (SMIEEE).

Research interests

Research Interests

Dr Carlos García Núñez’s research focuses on thin films and nanostructured functional materials for photonics, sensing and self-powered systems. His work investigates how the composition, structure, morphology and interfaces of materials determine their optical, electronic, mechanical and electromechanical properties—and how these relationships can be engineered to create improved devices.

His research encompasses the complete materials-to-device pathway: material synthesis and thin-film deposition; micro- and nanostructuring; structural, compositional and functional characterisation; multiphysics modelling; device fabrication; and experimental validation. Particular emphasis is placed on semiconductor nanowires, graphene, piezoelectric and triboelectric thin films, optical coatings and material-enabled photonic devices.

The research is organised around three interconnected themes:

Functional Materials and Nanostructures: synthesis and engineering of semiconductor nanowires, graphene structures and functional thin films, including ZnO, AlN, SiNx and SiOxNy. This work examines how deposition and processing conditions control material properties and device performance.
Optical and Photonic Materials and Devices: development of broadband photodetectors, low-loss high-reflectivity mirrors, bio-inspired antireflection surfaces and electro-optic devices for applications spanning gravitational-wave detection, infrared molecular sensing, quantum technologies and integrated photonics.
Energy and Self-Powered Systems: development of triboelectric and piezoelectric energy harvesters, tribotronic devices and autonomous sensing platforms capable of converting mechanical activity into electrical energy, sensing information or optical modulation.

A distinctive element of this research is the development of bespoke experimental methods and hardware–software platforms for measuring properties including piezoelectric response, triboelectric charge transfer, photoresponsivity, optical absorption and scattering, mechanical loss and spectral transmission. Finite-element and multiphysics modelling are used alongside experiments to investigate resonant behaviour, understand device operation and guide materials and device optimisation.

Functional materials and nanostructures are subsequently integrated into devices using cleanroom micro- and nanofabrication, thin-film patterning, contact printing and dielectrophoretic assembly. This integrated approach enables fundamental discoveries in materials science to be translated into demonstrators and technologies with potential societal and industrial impact.

Research Projects

The following selected research programmes illustrate the Smart Materials Group’s materials-to-device approach, from the engineering of functional materials and nanostructures through to device validation and industrial translation.

BIO-MIRAR — Bio-Inspired MIR Coatings for Molecular Sensing

BIO-MIRAR develops bio-inspired, subwavelength “moth-eye” antireflection nanostructures for high-transmission optical components operating across the 8–11 μm mid-infrared spectral range. The project initially focuses on nanostructuring both surfaces of GaAs components to suppress reflection and increase the amount of light reaching a molecular-detection region integrated with diamond.

The programme combines electromagnetic design, lithography, semiconductor etching, surface characterisation and infrared optical testing. Working with industrial partners, it aims to establish a scalable route from optimised nanostructure geometry to prototype validation, with future extension of the technology to diamond and other infrared materials.

BIO-MIRAR vision: bio-inspired nanostructures suppress reflection and enhance mid-infrared transmission within a molecular-sensing platform.

CRYONITRIDE — Low-Loss Mirrors for Cryogenic Gravitational-Wave Detectors

CRYONITRIDE investigates silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride thin-film coatings for the highly reflective mirrors required in current and future gravitational-wave detectors. The research examines how deposition conditions, chemical composition, microstructure and thermal processing influence refractive index, optical absorption, scattering and mechanical loss.

The objective is to develop coating architectures that combine high optical reflectivity with exceptionally low optical and mechanical losses, including under cryogenic operating conditions. This work brings together plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition, physical vapour deposition, advanced compositional analysis, optical-loss measurements and multilayer mirror design.

LIGHTENG — Self-Powered Photonic Circuits

LIGHTENG explores a new class of self-powered tribophotonic devices in which mechanical activity is converted directly into an optical response. Triboelectric nanogenerators produce the high electric fields required to actuate thin-film Fabry–Pérot electro-optic modulators, removing the requirement for a conventional external high-voltage supply.

The project connects functional-material development, energy harvesting and tunable photonics within a single device architecture. It has progressed from proof-of-concept experiments to a portable demonstrator, establishing a pathway towards autonomous optical sensors, mechanically controlled photonic circuits and self-powered human–machine interfaces.

TRIBOSENSE — Self-Charging Hybrid Sensor Systems

TRIBOSENSE develops triboelectric, piezoelectric and hybrid material platforms capable of harvesting mechanical energy while simultaneously providing sensing information. The research connects material morphology, electron affinity, surface charge and contact electrification with the performance of nanogenerators, transistor-based sensors and hybrid energy systems.

These self-charging technologies are being investigated for pressure and motion sensing, healthcare monitoring, smart infrastructure and intelligent environments. By combining energy generation, sensing, signal control and energy storage, the programme seeks to reduce dependence on batteries and enable more autonomous distributed sensor networks.
