The Photon Science Institute
About
Research interests: Photonic sensing for environmental, chemical and biological monitoring using polymer photonic materials and devices, and laser nanostructuring of polymer and metallic materials.
Low cost, rugged sensors have been developed for environmental, chemical and biological monitoring, for applications such as biofouling and scaling, algal growth. pH, particle concentration, turbidity, fluid flow, strain and water toxicity.
Current & Recent Projects
1. Laser microstructuring of polymers for optical devices
2. Biocompatable polymer coatings for biosensors
3. MATINOES: Novel Organic-Inorganic Materials in Opto-Electronic Systems for the Monitoring and Control of Bio-Processes
4. HYPER: Installation permitting guidance for hydrogen and fuel cells stationary applications
5. AQUA-STEW “Water Quality Surveillance Techniques for Early Warning by Interface Sensors”.
6. CLOOPT “On-line measurement for preventing fouling when closing industrial process water circuit”.
Teaching experience: Undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Applied Physics, Optical Science and Technology, Electronic Engineering and Chemical Engineering.
Currently Module Leader for MSc Module Optical Instruments (15 credits) and Second Year Systems Measurement (10 Credits).
