Dr. Nick Riesen gained his PhD in 2014 from The Australian National University with his thesis focusing on mode-division multiplexing for increasing optical fibre capacity. His research has pioneered the development of various elegant waveguide-based solutions for mode multiplexing including tapered velocity mode couplers and multi-core couplers. In 2014 he joined the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide as a Postdoctoral Fellow, where he studied whispering gallery mode microresonators. He joined the University of South Australia in 2016, continuing his work on whispering gallery modes, ultra-high density optical data storage and mode-division multiplexing. In 2019, Dr Riesen joined the ARC IDEAL Hub working on next generation optofluidic devices. Nick Riesen is co-founder and CSO of the Australian start-up Modular Photonics Pty Ltd, which specializes in 3D waveguide-based photonic devices.
Dr Riesen has published 45 journal articles, many of which are first author (21 first author, 14 second author) and over 50 refereed conference proceedings. His research has attracted approximately 1,650 citations, with an average of 20 citations per journal paper and 10 citations per paper per year. Currently his H-Index is 22, with a citation rate of >240 per year. His peer-reviewed articles are in leading journals such as: Laser & Photonics Reviews (IF: 8.53), Nanoscale (IF: 7.23), Analytical Chemistry (IF: 6.04), Physical Review Applied (IF: 4.78) and Nanoscale (IF: 6.90) These are considered of highest impact in my field of photonics.
