Biography
Professor Blaikie is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise, and Professor in Physics, at the University of Otago. He received the B.Sc. (Hons) degree from the University of Otago, New Zealand, in 1988 and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Cambridge, U.K., in 1992. For one year, he was a visiting scientist at the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, investigating single-electron transport effects in semiconductor nanostructures. He returned to New Zealand in 1993, taking up a position in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Canterbury prior to moving to his current role at Otago.
Role
As Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Blaikie oversees all of the research and commercialisation activities of the University.
Current research includes:
Nanophotonics – super-resolution optical lithography Plasmonics and related surface-wave phenomena, deep sub wavelength optical field confinement for sensing and imaging, intense lighting and transient luminous events (e.g. red sprites)
Micro- and Nano-fabrication – optical and electron beam lithography fabrication technologies for novel applications
Electronic Device Engineering – single-electron logic and memory devices and novel nano-electronic devices
