  In my role as Principal Enterprise Fellow and CORNERSTONE coordinator I manage the fabrication of a Silicon Photonics rapid prototyping multi-project-wafer service. I liaise with all of our partners and users to ensure smooth operation. I develop business opportunities including research grants, tender opportunities and industry contracts, promote the service internationally, assist in contract negotiations, produce costing models and develop business plans for the CORNERSTONE service. I also teach part of the Level 3 Photonics module in the Electronics and Computer Science department. Show less

  In my role as Visiting Research Fellow I designed, fabricated and characterised Silicon Photonics circuits and systems for mid-IR applications in sensing, defence and communications. I spent considerable time in a cleanroom environment and become proficient in CMOS compatible fabrication techniques such as CVD, RIE etching, lithography and more. I also coordinated the CORNERSTONE project, liaising with users and business partners. I taught part of the Introduction to Silicon Photonics Masters course and received a feedback score of greater than 4.8/5 in every year that I taught. Show less

  • Mar 2015 - Aug 2019

  I worked in the Silicon Photonics group on mid-infrared technologies for applications in sensing, healthcare, defence and telecommunications, to name but a few. I was responsible for the design and fabrication of high speed photonics devices operating at wavelengths of 2um and beyond, in addition to the development of emerging silicon photonics platforms such as germanium-on-silicon and silicon nitride.
