Professor Miftar Ganija

Professor

School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD, but is currently at capacity - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Miftar Ganija holds a professor joint appointment between DSTG/University of Adelaide, in the School of Physical Sciences and School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (EME) at The University of Adelaide. The USPL program is a joint initiative by the Department of Defence (DST Group) and The University of Adelaide.

Miftar Ganija is the founder and Lead Scientist of DualTech - USPL at the University of Adelaide and Program Leader of the Centre for Advanced Defence Research - Ultrashort and Short Pulsed Lasers (CADR-USPL).

The applications for ultra-short pulsed lasers is expanding rapidly and requires new technology to be on the forefront of engineering and scientific innovation.

Miftar’s research includes the development of USPL laser sources, beam propagation and transitioning lasers to industry, medical and defence. Current research includes the development of high-power Q-switched near infrared cryogenic lasers and mode-locked laser sources for a variety of industrial, remote sensing and defence applications and blue lasers for medical applications.

USPL Strategic Road Map

The CADR-USPL is a joint centre between DSTG/University of Adelaide. We have identified that there is a shortage of ultra-short pulsed laser technology development and a workforce to support its development in Australia. Therefore, the USPL scientific team are working on pathways to address these deficiencies through the dual-use laser approach. This involves creating a sovereign eco-system for industrial and science capability, thereby ensuring that we are in a position to address mid- and long-term critical technology needs for Australia.

Our program focuses on three major areas of R&D for:
• Source development
• Propagation and Effect generation
• Applications

The Ultra-Short Pulsed Laser Centre for Advanced Defence Research is seeking highly motivated students to work on cutting edge physics and engineering projects. Short pulsed lasers are driving substantial innovation in medicine, defence, remote sensing, academic research, machining and spectroscopy. The team has international recognition for laser sources developed at two micron and are pushing new breakthroughs for energy in pulsed lasers.

We have a variety of Honours and HDR (M.Phil and PhD) scholarships available.
