School of Technology
About this community
The mission of the School of Technology is to provide a focus and framework for its constituent departments to formulate and express views pertinent to technology, methods and processes, both within and without the University, recognising that technology has its own priorities and its own criteria for success: above all, technology departments recognise a duty to influence and be influenced by society at large and to work towards the creation of wealth and an improved quality of life. Institutions within the School are: the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, the Computer Laboratory, the Department of Engineering, Judge Business School and the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.

Screening the design space for optimized plutonium incineration performance in the thorium-based I² S-LWR
(Elsevier, 2017-03)This paper presents an optimization of a thorium-plutonium (Th-Pu) fuel cycle by screening various design options for the Integral Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I²S-LWR). The I²S-LWR is an advanced 2850 MWt integral ... -
Instability mechanisms in amorphous oxide semiconductors leading to a threshold voltage shift in thin film transistors
(Electrochemical Society, 2017-05-01)Amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) has been successfully employed commercially as the channel layer in thin film transistors (TFTs) for active-matrix flat panel displays. However, these TFTs are known to suffer ... -
Optimal location and minimum number of superconducting fault current limiters for the protection of power grids
(Elsevier BV, 2017-05)This paper presents a novel method to determine the optimal strategy for the allocation of multiple resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) aiming to improve the overall protection of standard power grids. ...
