My research focuses on developing and post-processing bespoke optical fibres, such as hollow-core and multicore fibres, to enable next-generation photonic devices with advanced functionalities. I am particularly interested in studying how novel microstructured fibre geometries can be engineered to control how light is guided through an optical fibre. By combining theoretical modelling, numerical simulations, and experimental fabrication, I explore how these fibre devices can deliver tailored performance and unique optical properties. This work supports a broad range of applications, including remote sensing, classical and quantum communications, biomedical devices, and next-generation LiDAR systems.

I am currently offering one PhD position focused on developing next-generation fibre-optic devices for advanced imaging applications. The project offers the opportunity to design and fabricate novel optical fibres, investigate new methods for guiding and manipulating broadband light, and contribute to innovative solutions for minimally invasive imaging. The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience in fibre fabrication and post-processing, optical characterisation, computational modelling, and the integration of fibre devices into compact imaging systems. This is a truly multidisciplinary project, with opportunities to collaborate closely with leading clinicians and researchers working at the interface of photonics and medical imaging.
