Principal Investigator
Professor Andrey Miroshnichenko
Prof Miroshnichenko obtained his PhD in 2003 from the Max-Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany. In 2004 he moved to Australia to join the Nonlinear Physics Centre at the Australian National University. During that time, he made fundamentally important contributions to the field of photonic crystals and bringing the concept of the Fano resonances to nanophotonics. In 2007 he was awarded by Australian Postdoctoral and in 2011 by Future Fellowships from the Australian Research Council. In 2017 he has moved to the University of New South Wales Canberra and became UNSW Scientia Fellow. In 2019 Prof Miroshnichenko was recognised as one of the Highly Cited Researchers by the Web of Science Group. The topics of his research are nonlinear nanophotonics, nonlinear optics, resonant interaction of light with nanoclusters, including optical nanoantennas and metamaterials.
Dr. Haroldo Hattori
Haroldo earned his B.Sc. and MSc. Degrees from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (Brazil), all in Electrical Engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (USA). He also worked as a research fellow at the University of Glasgow (UK) and Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France). He is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales Canberra.
He is working on opto-electronics with a general emphasis on photodetectors, lasers, and sensors (e.g., gas sensors). He has published more than 110 journal papers and 200 conference papers. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Association (UK), Senior Member IEEE, Senior Member Optica and Member of Engineers Australia. He is also Associate Editor of IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics and Photonics. He is in the Scientific Committee of IEEE International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON). He is also in the Advisory Board of the capitalphotonicx Optica Chapter at UNSW Canberra and is the UNSW Canberra Chief Laser Safety Officer.

Mr. Ambali Odebowale
Ambali earned his B.Tech degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. Following that, he completed master’s degree in the Electrical Department at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Presently, he is pursuing Ph.D. at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia.
His research is centered on intelligent nanophotonics and radiative heat transfer. Currently, my research focuses on applying machine learning approaches to model radiative heat transfer for applications in energy conversion, radiative cooling, thermal memristor, and thermal management. As part of my academic engagement, I am a member of Optica chapter.
Miss. Sanjida Akter
Mr. Andergachew Berhe
Andergachew Mekonnen Berhe earned his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Mekelle University, Ethiopia, and a Master’s degree in Photonics from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan (ROC). Currently, he is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia.
His research centers on strong coupling and its applications. Presently, he is engaged in investigating strong coupling between dielectric metasurfaces, plasmonic metamaterials, and excitons in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers, exploring their applications for single photon sources, polariton lasers, and optical sensors. Additionally, he is interested in optimizing the optical properties of metasurface-semiconductor heterostructures using machine learning.
