Our Research Group

This project will develop new concepts of optical imaging, metrology and device functionality at the atomic (picometre) scale, leveraging recent advances in topology, the structuring of optical fields, metamaterials, and artificial intelligence see The Birth of Picophotonics (Optics & Photonics News, Sept. 2023).

You will join a strong international team of students, postdoctoral and academic staff working together on aspects of cutting‑edge nanophotonics research – seeking to understand, control and utilize light and light‑matter interactions at the sub‑wavelength scale. A remarkable range of new phenomena is found in this regime, with wide‑ranging potential applications in, for example, telecommunications, metrology, sensing, defence, super‑resolution imaging, and data storage.

Our work is supported by major nanophotonics research grants from the EPSRC (£5.5M) and the European Research Council (€2.6M).
