Centre for Emerging Device Technologies (CEDT) is an organization that facilitates study of the optical, electrical, mechanical, and biological properties of semiconductors and related materials and promotes the development of technology based on these materials.
Today, the Centre is made up of faculty members and graduate students from the various departments under both Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Sciences:
- Engineering Physics
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Materials Science & Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Chemistry & Chemical Biology
- Physics & Astronomy
- Geography & Earth Sciences
The Centre’s focus has been on photonics and optical materials & devices, however, the approaches and applications are extremely diverse. Further, the research interests span a diverse area. We develop lasers, MEMS, detectors, waveguide devices, and much more. Industrial collaborations take place frequently and new initiatives are always welcome.
History
Founded in 1987, CEDT was originally named Centre for Electrophotonic Materials and Devices. In 2005, the name of the Centre was changed to CEDT to better reflect the diversified range of research topics in which group members have become increasingly involved.
