My PhD project involves developing novel environmental SEM (ESEM) capabilities that enable us to watch low-dimensional nanomaterials grow in real-time. The aim of my project is perform in-operando metrology of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) processes inside the ESEM to gain further insights into the detailed mechanisms and build fundamental understanding of how CVD processes work.
