Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers on his latest paper ‘Manipulating the quasi–normal modes of radially symmetric resonators‘ which has been published in Optics Express. In this work, co-authored by CMRI PhD alumni Dr Dean Patient and assistant professor Dr Simon Horsley, James and colleagues derive methods for controlling the resonant frequency, linewidth and […]

Graduation Celebration Summer 2023
Congratulations to our 2023 Summer graduates who had their ceremony last week! We held post-graduation celebrations in Physics 124, attended by graduates, their guests, fellow PGRs and their supervisors to reflect on their time as PGRs. They go on to a variety of positions across academia and industry with some staying in Exeter and […]
PGRs visit local Cheriton Bishop Primary School
A group of current PhD students (Hannah Barnard, Kyle Arnold, Charlie Patrickson, Valentin Haemmerli and Ben Scott) and recent graduates (Dean Patient, Joe Shields and Jonas Riisnaes) from the Centre for Metamaterial Research and Innovation recently visited a local Primary School to run their annual STEM day alongside members of the Exeter Photonics Society. […]
PGRs present at MRS Fall 2022
Final year PGRs Hannah Barnard and Dean Patient recently gave talks at the Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting 2022 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The MRS Fall meetings are huge events in the materials research calendar with up to 7,000 attendees annually taking part in over 50 symposia spread across a week. For the event, […]
New Publication: Inverse design in the complex plane: Manipulating quasi-normal modes
Congratulations to final year PGRs James Capers and Dean Patient, whose paper ‘Inverse design in the complex plane: Manipulating quasi-normal modes’ has been recently accepted by Physical Review A. James explains the importance of this paper’s findings: To design materials for use in solar panels, gas sensors and thermal emitters it is necessary to control the […]
PGRs present at META 2022
There was a strong CDT presence at META 2022 in Torremolinos, Spain 19th-22nd July, with eleven of our PGRs presenting posters and two PGRs who contributed talks. META is one of the largest international conferences in the field of metamaterials and nanophotonics and was well attended by CDT students. James Capers and Iago Rodríguez Díez […]
PGRs present at Complex Nanophotonics Science Camp
Three of our PGRs- final year PGRs Joe Shields and Dean Patient, and third year PGR James Capers– presented at the Complex Nanophotonics Science Camp, which was held on August 2nd-5th 2022 at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park. The Science Camp brings together 60 early-career scientists in the field of photonics but also science writers […]
New Publication: Toward efficient and tailorable mid-infrared emitters utilizing multilayer graphene
Congratulations to fourth-year PGR Dean Patient, whose paper ‘Toward efficient and tailorable mid-infrared emitters utilizing multilayer graphene’ was recently published in Applied Physics Letters. Dean summarises the paper’s findings: In this work, we experimentally fabricate devices consisting of multi-layer graphene with an incorporated back-reflector. The resultant devices have a roughly 4-fold increase in emission compared […]
New Publication: Supersymmetry, half-bound states, and grazing incidence reflection
Congratulations to third year PGR Dean Patient, whose paper ‘Supersymmetry, half-bound states, and grazing incidence reflection’ was published in Journal of Optics. Dean explains his findings: Any wave that approaches a material at grazing incidence will almost always completely reflect, this effect can be seen all around us: we can see the reflection of the […]
