Electron Microscopy Beyond Classical Limits
Quantum technologies offer new opportunities to overcome the classical limitations of electron microscopy. The project will investigate coherent electron–photon interactions and advanced electron-beam control methods to enable novel imaging and measurement capabilities.

Read MoreNonlinear Optical Bistability in Metagratings
Explore how light can control light, with no electronics required. This project develops a unified analytical and numerical platform for metagratings – engineered periodic surfaces – whose diffraction response switches between two distinct states based on the intensity of the incident beam. By incorporating Kerr-type nonlinear materials into the metagrating design, students will model, simulate,…
Read MoreDiscovering New Physics in an Ultrafast Laser
We are looking for a curious and motivated student to investigate complex dynamics in a Mamyshev oscillator—an ultrafast fibre laser that may reproduce a phenomenon never experimentally demonstrated in any physical system: a heterodimensional cycle. This unusual behaviour links states with different numbers of unstable directions and connects laser physics with ideas from fluid dynamics,…

Read MoreUltrafast Laser-driven dynamics in 2D material nanoribbons
This project aims to develop theory of laser-driven ultrafast electron dynamics in 2D materials nanoribbons. These are 1D-periodic structures with edge states that can have topological properties and form conducting channels with enhanced transport. Dynamics of exciting and driving currents through these states is largely unexplored on femtosecond timescales (we recently explored this in 2D…
