Dr David Rodley

David Rodley is a graduate of the University of Dundee, and spent time as a postdoctoral fellow at Glasgow university before joining the (then) Faculty of Science here in Dundee in 1996. David has worked in a number of research fields. In 1990 he joined the nanotechnology group at Glasgow University researching fabrication methods for nano-scale amorphous silicon thin film transistors. This was followed by a periods modelling a 7 electrode electrostatic levitation system, fabricating and characterising nano-metre organometallic structures, and working on the characterisation and development of non-volatile amorphous silicon memory devices. Increasingly teaching and co-ordination activities have played a major role in David's career. Since 2001 he has been postgraduate co-ordinator for the "Display Technology, Systems and Applications " (aka DisplayMasters) MSc, and most recently has become programme director for the university's Renewable Energy MSc programme. David has recently been involved with the EU FP6 Information Society Technologies programme "Advanced Displays Research Integration Action", on which he was director of the Education and Training workpackage. He was also a member of the Steering Committee. As part of his interest in Renewable Energy, David also sits on the Board of Solar Cities Scotland, which is a membership group dedicated to promoting use of Renewable energies, facilitating dialogue between interest groups (most particularly involving the community at large), and advancing research in renewable energy for the public benefit.
