Dr Stephen Warren-Smith

Ramsay Fellow

School of Physical Sciences

Faculty of Sciences

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Stephen completed his BSc (Physics and Theoretical Physics) with first class honours at The University of Adelaide in 2006. From 2007 to 2010 he completed his PhD under the supervision of Tanya Monro, Shahraam Afshar, and Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem on a project titled “Chemical sensing using microstructured optical fibres.” His PhD project was in collaboration with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and Swinburne University of Technology to develop microstructured optical fibre sensors for the application of corrosion sensing of aircraft. His work spanned theory, simulations, fabrication, and experiments.

Following Stephen's PhD submission he completed a cycling expedition from Australia to the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden via the length of Africa on a recumbent tricycle in order to promote adventure and responsible risk-taking to Scouts and youth in Australia and around the World.

On Stephen's return in August 2011 he began an Australian Research Council (ARC) Super Science Fellowship, investigating novel optical fibre sensing architectures for women’s health. From August 2014 Stephen worked on a Photonics Catalyst Grant with partner company SJ Cheesman to develop high temperature sensors for the Port Pirie minerals and metals processing facility.

In February 2015 Stephen moved to Jena, Germany, to undertake a prestigious Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship at the Institute of Photonic Technology. There he developed new techniques for fabricating nano/micro optical fiber sensors. Since October 2016 Stephen has been working as a Ramsay Fellow at the University of Adelaide.

Stephen's research interests include 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.
