Integrated quantum photonics

We work with nanometre scale waveguide structures to generate, route and control particles of light: photons. By manipulating these quantum states we are opening new paradigms in information, computing and communications.

Optical Micromanipulation

We are investigating the behaviour of optically trapped structures, fabricated using two photon polymerisation. Applications include low force surface microscopy and sub-picoNewton force measurement.

Stem cells on a nanomaterial matrix

I develop natural polymer- and nanocomposite-based fibres and 2D/3D scaffolds, and observe the adhesion, proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells upon them.

Microfluidics

My research looks at the behaviour of biological materials as they move. I design and build simple microfluidic devices to study flow on small scales.
