2010
International PhD students
From Federal University of Technology, Roberson Oliveiro completes 1 year of his PhD at iPL in 2010. Winner of a CAPES scholarship from the Brazilian Government. Roberson was involved in a large number of important breakthroughs applying acoustic waves to gratings, including working on the development of a novel compact viscosity, refractive index and density sensor.Rberson is winner of the best student presentation at APOS 2010, which played an important part in bringing APOS 2012 to Australia.
Visiting ScholarsFrom Department of Information Science and Engineering, Yanshan University, China: we farewell Prof. Li Bingxin who has spent a one year sabbatical at iPL 2009-2010. He has carried out in depth theoretical modelling of various complex fibres.
From Strathclyde University, Scotland, UK: Philip Orr, winner of a McRobertons Scholarship from Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities, Scotland, UK. Philip worked on demonstrating a novel approach based on compound phase shifted grating structures ideal for magnetic field sensing and other processes.
From Institute of Photonics (IPHT), Jena, Germany: Eric Lindner, as part of a joint DIISR funded international project between Australia, Brazil and Germany, working on a new generation of grating sensors for the oil and gas industries.
From Department of Physical Chemistry and innoSPEC, University of Potsdam, Germany: Roland Hass visting iPL to learn about gratings and how they may be applied to spectrocopy and sensing.
From Turin Polytechnic, Italy: we farewell Danielle Tossi, Endeavour Fellow at iPL over 2009-2010 working on sensors.
Summer Students:
From The University of Sydney: Robert Hannah, Jack Orford. Jack developed a novel way of introducing palladium into structured optical fibres.
