Construct a small dual tosion pendulum which have their centre of mass co-incide and their rotational axis colinear. Inital diagnostics will be done using shadow sensors.

A topic with a short-term Engineering project and Physics project, to investigate using optical single side-band modulators for interferometric measurements.

Can we use small-package Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) or commercial laser diodes for high-performance interferometric displacement sensors?

This project aims to develop a three-mirror coupled optical cavity system with automated alignment and control. Machine learning will be used to identify optical modes and optimize cavity operation, enabling advanced studies in precision optical control and interferometry.

Develop an active vibraiton isolation platform to provide a quiet, small displacement environment for high precision inteferometry.

Optical cavities are widely used in physics and precision measurement.  This project will explore the use of modern machine learning methods for the control of suspended optical cavities.

A project to advance a prototype displacement sensor to test-type phase, via improved compact mechanical design,  vacuum compatibility, and improved sensor testing.

Using non-classical light states on laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, to further enhance the best length measurement devices in the world.

In this project, we study the gravitational-wave astronomy and astrophysics science cases and observational prospects with future ground-based gravitational-wave observatories.

For gravitational-wave detections and analyses, the raw outputs from the gravitational-wave detectors need to be converted into analysable data through some calibration apparatus. This project investigates new techniques to improve calibration accuracy and precision and better integrate the calibration bias into astrophysical analyses.
