Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Photonic Systems, Circuits and Sensors Group

Our group’s research in photonics is helping the development of critical global technologies.

Computational Nonlinear Optics

We develop theoretical models and computer simulations for a wide range of photonics systems, such as optical fibres, integrated waveguides, and quantum technology.
