UK STEM education
The UK is one of the leading countries in the world in STEM education, having a massed considerable expertise in the field. It is ranked number two globally in terms of high-quality research potential and the number of researchers, and number one in terms of researcher success. UK universities are ranked among the best in the world and are well-known for their creativity and innovation in research.
Briefly, STEM education provides students with a holistic and interdisciplinary education that can help them to tackle problems in their student lives, while also aiding in their skill development.
STEM education focuses on a student’s entire educational life. By integrating four key disciplines –science, technology, engineering and mathematics –into a cohesive education, STEM education provides students with a high quality, creative and critical interdisciplinary education.
About the speaker:
Mete Atatüre, Professor of Physics, Fellow at The University of Cambridge
Mete Atature received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1996 from the Physics Department of Bilkent University in Turkey, after which he attended the Quantum Imaging Laboratory at Boston University for his PhD studies. From 2002 to 2007, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Quantum Photonics Group in ETH Zurich. He joined the Cavendish Laboratory in June 2007 as a University Lecturer, and earned his a Readership in 2011 and his Professorship in 2015.
Research Interests
His current research interests include the optical control of single and multiple quantum-dot spins, high-resolution spectroscopy of diamond-based emitters, solid-state cavity-QED and nanoplasmonics. https://www.phy.cam.ac.uk/directory/ataturem
