Rose Cranston
PhD - 2024
Rose described her research as tinkering around with blue semiconducting goo until it became a functional thin-film transistor, then taking pretty pictures of the results. Apart from the lab, Rose enjoyed spending her time drawing, scuba diving, and cycling until her legs didn’t work.
