My research centres around the control of light-matter interactions in photonic nanostructures in order to build functional devices. I am currently interested in metasurfaces for imaging and sensing applications, biomedical optics, novel nanofabrication methods, and tunable nanophotonic devices. Research challenges lying at the interface between disciplines are of particular interest.
Research specialisms:
- Micro and nanophotonics
- Optical metasurfaces
- Multimodal sensing
- Nanofabrication: e-beam lithography and device processing
- Optical devices: from the visible to the mid-infrared (MIR)
- Multi and hyperspectral imaging
