Great to be on the harbour for the 125 anniversary of the foundation of Australia’s Navy

Back to the big city and in the office on Friday. Happy new year ..

Happy new year - what happened to summer !?

Great way to the end the week with the @EggletonLab for our annual retreat - team, achievements, the future and a first aid course

The promise of cleaner, more stable lasers for quantum machines, GPS or next-gen comms: #USYD team has carved ‘speed bumps’ – nanoscale Bragg gratings – inside chip-scale Brillouin lasers to banish parasitic noise, boosting output power and coherence. Big props to Research & Prototype Foundry – a #USYD Core Research Facility – for making it possible.

Great dinner in Newtown tonight as we farewelled Paul Newman after seven years at the University of Sydney and exceptional leadership of our Clinical Trials team. A fantastic colleague and steady presence in our leadership group. All the best, Paul — hope to keep seeing you.

@EggletonLab A fantastic afternoon and now I’ve got another qualification

Researchers at the University of Sydney have demonstrated a new way to suppress noise in microchip-scale Brillouin lasers by introducing nanoscale “speed bumps” inside the devices’ optical cavity. australianmanufacturing.com.au/university-of-…

I’m pleased to share our latest invited review article just published in Optica's journal Optical Materials Express: “Integrated nonlinear photonics with chalcogenide glasses: compositions, properties, applications, and roadmap.” opg.optica.org/ome/fulltext.c…

Great to be out and about with wonderful ⁦@Sydney_Uni⁩ colleagues - at the NSW Premier’s prizes for Science and Engineering - congratulations to the winner

Great session today at the @NSWsensing (NSSN) Board meeting, hosted at the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist here in Sydney. Always energising to sit around the table with such a sharp group of thinkers from industry, government and our member universities.

Congratulations to Prof Lidia Morawska for winning the PM Science prize for groundbreaking research on air-quality

Almost home

Stimulating day at Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the famous Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT, hosted by Marin Soljacic and his team, shown around by #Jelena_Notaros and her amazing students and then with #Juejun_Hu- presenting a seminar / enjoyable lunch.

An enjoyable day at the INRS - Institut national de la recherche scientifique facility in Montreal, hosted by photonics legends #Jose_Azana and Roberto Morandotti, touring impressive laboratories, exploring new collaborations and research ecosystems - and a great lunch.

Last night we gathered with colleagues and friends of IPOS @Sydney_Uni for the biennial Peter Domachuk Memorial Lecture from Prof. Shanhui Fan (@Stanford), one of the world’s leading minds in photonics and electromagnetism. We closed with spectacular dinner at the Opera House.
