Future Industries Institute

I am an ARC Future Fellow in the Future Industries within the University of South Australia. My research focuses on exploiting unique optical effects within speciality optical fibres to solve sensing problems for industry. My background includes experience in soft-glass and silica microstructured fibre fabrication, fluorescence sensing modelling, surface functionalisation of optical fibres, optical fibre sensor development, fibre Bragg gratings, and ultra-high temperature sensing.
 
I completed my PhD in 2011 on a project developing distributed optical fibre corrosion sensors, for which I was awarded a South Australian Science Excellence Award. In 2011 I was selected for an ARC Super Science Fellowship, investigating novel optical fibre sensing architectures for women’s health. From 2015-2016 I worked as a Marie Curie Fellow in Germany and from 2016-2020 as a Ramsay Fellow at the University of Adelaide. In August 2014 I was awarded a Photonics Catalyst Grant with partner company SJ Cheesman to develop high temperature sensors for the Port Pirie minerals and metals processing facility. This has led to significant research funding, two patents, and the establishment of a start-up manufacturing company, HT Sensing Pty Ltd.
