A/Prof Dawn Tan (Singapore University of Technology and Design) gave us a comprehensive presentation on her work on Bragg soliton dynamics on chip! Impressive results showing the power of #photonics
ARDC is now a proud member of @ScienceAU, the peak body represents best interests of 90,000+ scientists, technologists, research centres & #STEM leaders advocating research excellence. Check out STA's iconic event #SciencemeetsParliament: https://t.co/Np6zyVwrOJ @mishaschubert
Many thanks to Prof Jon Lawrence of AAO-MQ for his seminar on astronomical fibre optic multi-object spectroscopy. He nicely described the science case for the many recent astronomy surveys and summarized the techniques.
Just announced: Dr Mikolaj Schmidt of @mqphotonics has been awarded an ARC Discovery Early Career Fellowship for 2022 in quantum acoustic technology. Congratulations @MikolajKSchmidt - well done on winning this highly competitive grant and a successful #preprint appeal.
Honoured to serve on the Judging Panel for @Macquarie_Uni#ECR Showcase, w. Prof Michael Gillings, Dr Ross McLennan & Angie Kelly. All outstanding presentations, showing that MQ’s ECR landscape is not only dynamic, innovative & impactful, but collegial, convivial & connected too!
Very pleased to announce that @fun_materials Co-Leader @SumeetWalia4 has been promoted! Effective January 1st 2022, Sumeet is a Full Professor @ResearchRMIT.
Congratulations, Sumeet!
And.... another NSF proposal rejected.
Apparently (in part), my outreach didn't hit the bar. Running an online conference (for free, on the topic of the grant), mentoring a dozen or so UG & HS students, & disseminating the research protocols on YT isn't sufficient.
I am very happy to present our research at the Early Career Researcher Showcase 2021 at @Macquarie_Uni, also look forward to hearing other ECRs from different disciplines. @mqphotonics

Thanks to Dr Tieshan Yang (UTS) @tyang20201 for his seminar on 2D materials in photonics, showing how versatile these materials can be! Intriguing to see that materials like black phosphorus & graphene are suited to solar steam generation, flat lenses, & quantum emitters.
Thanks to Prof Renate Egan, an alumna of Macquarie, for this week's seminar. She spoke on her career and personal story of innovation and entrepreneurship within the photovoltaic sector, showing the great impact it has had to date. And the promise of more to come in the future!
