ARC Future Fellowship Awarded for Terahertz Technology Development

IPAS member Professor Withawat Withayachumnankul has been awarded a 2025 ARC Future Fellowship to advance research in compact, chip-based terahertz systems.

The project aims to replace traditional, bulky free-space terahertz setups with integrated systems built on recent Australian innovations in substrateless silicon platforms. This work will enable faster wireless communications over several kilometres, contributing to the development of future 6G networks, and support advanced stand-off sensing for applications in health, security, and industry.

The research will focus on improving signal modulation and wave routing in the terahertz domain, addressing key challenges to make these technologies practical and scalable.

Through this Fellowship, Professor Withayachumnankul and his team at the Terahertz Engineering Laboratory will continue to build Australia’s research and technological capacity in next-generation communication and sensing systems.
