Qualifications

BSc (Physics) University of NSW (Hons1) - 1991

PhD: Macquarie University - 1997

Research Interests

My Phd titled 'line selective mid-infrared lasers' was conducted at 'The centre for lasers and applications', a Commonwealth funded centre at Macquarie University. In 1997 I took up a position as a postdoctoral researcher at Rice University for 3 years, developing portable difference frequency based trace gas sensors for precision measurement of gas concentrations. Collaborations were undertaken with Aerodyne Research, NASA (Johnson), and the Naval Research Laboratories. In 2000 I joined the DSTO (Defence Science and Technology) in Australia, and developed a range of mid-infrared lasers called 'MURLIN' for infrared countermeasure use.

In 2010 I took up an Associate Professor research position at the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing at Adelaide University.

My research interests include fibre lasers, mid-infrared lasers, direct-write waveguide lasers, non-linear frequency conversion, fibre fabrication, microstructured fibres and I run the silica fibre fabrication facility (MCVD).
