Researcher biography

Dr. Charles Woffinden completed his PhD in experimental physics at the University of York in 2010, under the supervision of Prof. Steve Tear. His doctoral research involved investigating the electronic and magnetic properties of novel surfaces and nanomaterials.

From 2009 to 2019, he worked as an engineer and product development manager at Teledyne e2v, developing imaging systems for space and scientific applications.

In 2020, he joined the group of Prof. Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop at the University of Queensland, and is currently based in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) in the Bose Einstein Condensation Laboratory.
