Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of nanophotonics and quantum optics, with a focus on advancing integrated quantum technologies. I aim to enhance the performance, stability, and scalability of photonic quantum devices while minimising their environmental impact.

Key Research Areas

1. Quantum Light Sources and Devices

• Advancing chip-integrated quantum emitters in 2D materials and diamond for secure communication and distributed quantum computing

• NV-plasmonic platforms for next-generation quantum sensing in magnetometry and thermometry

• Waveguide quantum electrodynamics for sub- and super-radiant emission control

2. Nanophotonic Interfaces and Spin–Photon Coupling

• Plasmon-emitter coupling for functional sensing platforms with translational potential in healthcare, biotechnology, and environmental monitoring

• Photonic crystals and integrated photonics for chip-scale quantum emitters

• Spin–optic coupling via plasmonic and metasurface resonators

3. Quantum Materials and Characterisation

• Atomic defects in diamond and hBN for scalable quantum resources

• Low-temperature spectroscopy and confocal imaging to probe emitter stability and performance

Research Impact and Applications

My research contributes to the development of scalable quantum systems for sensing, communication, and computation. By integrating quantum emitters with advanced nanofabrication and photonic architectures, I aim to enable breakthroughs in quantum sensing platforms, secure communication networks, and quantum-enhanced measurement technologies.

Collaboration and Opportunities

I actively collaborate with both academic groups and industry partners, and welcome new opportunities in joint research, industrial translation, and student training. For those interested in pursuing a PhD, postdoctoral position, or research collaboration, please contact [email protected].
