A global hub of Photonics research, creating transformational new approaches to sensing and transdisciplinary problem solvers.
Many of the challenges we face as a society can only be solved by pursuing a transdisciplinary approach to science. The Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) has been created to bring together experimental physicists, chemists, material scientists, biologists, experimentally driven theoretical scientists and medical researchers to create new sensing and measurement technologies.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
As the festive season approaches it is, of course, the right time to reflect on the last year at IPAS. I am immensely proud of all the work our members have done to make IPAS bigger and better: it has been another year of amazing announcements across the board.

IPAS - Research Excellence ticks all the right box
IPAS mission is to use the power of light to make the world safer, healthier and wealthier. This transdisciplinary approach institute has housed more than 200 scientists and researchers developing innovative research from defence, medical and biological sensors, agriculture and mining industries and spun off 6 startups. 15 Nov On 30-31 October, IPAS and the Faculty of Sciences proudly joined ECMS at INGENUITY 2019 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Along with more than 300 innovative projects, some of IPAS cutting-edge research and capabilities were on display including: the AMIGO, Miniprobes, High Temperature Sensing, Sapphire Clock, Advanced Manufacturing (including 3D metal printing and GLAS technology) and the Laser Radio.
