Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
My best wishes for all those contributing to the new teaching term, starting today. It is fantastic to have face-to-face teaching again.
A reminder that the inaugural seminar of the Women in Physics (WiP) Series is on tomorrow (see below).
The new building is starting to look very, very close. The auditorium is a smidge from completion as can be seen with the hanging of a major work by famous Indigenous artist, Tommy Watson, titled “Spider Dreaming”. (credit: Sarah O’Callaghan). This amazing work is on loan and we will have a suitable celebration with the owner as soon as possible. Together with the spectacular backdrop of the lake and the Quantum noise distributed seat colours our auditorium is set to become an iconic meeting space.
An open call for mentors and mentees in the NECTAR program closes on 1st March. This is a great program and very rewarding for all parties. Places are limited, apply now! (check eligibility here).
…and, it seems the Government is struggling to give research funding away! If you are thinking about working with an industry partner you may be interested in this article. If you have questions about this scheme please speak with our AD(R), Prof Elena Ostrovskaya or me and we can line up a meeting with people who have had experience with the submission process.
Over the next week we are setting the agenda for the next School Executive. If you have items you would like your representatives or Heads to raise please let them know by Friday. Your general representatives are;
- WHS, represented by Dr Rick Walsh (WHSM)
- School Facilities, represented by Mr Graeme Cornish (FM)
- Student Representatives, represented by Matthias Wurdack (SR)
- Early and Mid-Career Researchers, represented by a group contacted through this email
- Equity and Diversity Committee, represented by A/Prof James Sullivan and Mary Gray (E&D)
Have a good week,
Tim |

High-harmonic Generation with Metasurfaces
|
|
The team of collaborators from the School, with colleagues from University of Jena (Germany) and ITMO University (Russia), demonstrated high-harmonic generation with up to 11-th harmonics from resonant dielectric metasurfaces supporting bound states in the continuum. For the first time to our knowledge, this allowed to enter the regime of nonperturbative nonlinear optics in metaphotonics. From RSPhys, the project was driven by PhD students Kirill Koshelev and Anastasiia Zalogina. The results have been published in ACS Photonics (Impact Factor=7.529), and the paper was highlighted as the journal cover story. » read more
