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. […]
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 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 […]

Ioannis Leontis in conferences at Washington DC
Third year PGR and vice-president of EUOPS (Exeter University Optics and Photonics Society) Ioannis Leontis discusses his experience of two conferences he was recently invited to: In September 2019, as vice-president of EUOPS (Exeter University Optics and Photonics Society), I was invited to participate in two OSA (Optical Society of America) conferences in Washington DC. The […]
PGR Emanuele Gemo at ePIXfab Silicon Photonics Summer School
From 1st-5th July 2019, third year PGR Emanuele Gemo attended ePIXfab’s silicon photonics summer school at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, Italy. Emanuele gives an insight into his experience: The experience in Pisa has been definitely valuable. From the organization perspective, nothing has been left unplanned or uncared for. The venue was the main hall […]
Gooch and Housego Industry Visit
In May this year, our first year PGRs (Cohort 5) visited Gooch and Housego, a global leader in photonics technology in Torquay, for an insight into their company and the wider industry. G&H are experts across a uniquely broad range of photonic technologies – crystal growth, optical materials processing, acousto-optics and electro-optics, fiber optics, DFB […]
