Welcome
• Something about the mission and history:
– The information and communication revolution has had a
profound influence on our modern lifestyles, from business,
commerce and government, to education, health and
entertainment. The science and engineering of the materials,
devices and systems that lie at the heart of this revolution
have been major research areas at the University of Surrey
for several decades.
– The Institute contains about 100 people and has a research
grant turnover of about £xM. Our activity is organised into
four groups, supported by state-of-the-art laboratory and
cleanroom facilities.
– The ATI was conceived to bring together electronic
engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists within one
integrated working environment. The ATI contributes to the
Faculty research themes of Advanced Materials Devices and
Nanotechnology, Sustainability Energy and environment,
Information and communications technologies, Health and
Life Sciences Interface, Mathematics & Theoretical Physical
Sciences

• Something about organisation of what
we do
– Staff within the ATI work on a variety of
projects such as high-speed electronics, ion
implantation and analysis, microwave circuits
and systems, optoelectronics and photonics,
large area electronics and displays, carbonbased electronics and biological sensors.
Highlights of this research can be found
under our activity.

Funding and facilities
• Funded by a £10 M investment from the Joint
Infrastructure Fund and the University of Surrey,
much of the activity is housed in a new purposebuilt building, which was officially opened in
August 2002. A further £4.5 M investment was
made in May 2003 through the SRIF2 initiative to
provide equipment for nanoelectronics research
and high performance computing. Our turnover
is about £xM per year
