Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
The service to farewell Andrew Papworth will be held at 2pm, this Thursday at 101 Nettlefold Street, Belconnen (Further details). All are very welcome to come and pay tribute to Andrew’s life and contributions.
My congratulations to Professors John Close (QST) and Paul Tregoning (RSES) for securing a CRC-P jointly with Q-CTRL Pty Ltd and MOG Labs. Their project, “Integrating Quantum Tech into Space Manufacturing for Defence & Agriculture”, will combine unique technological capabilities in miniaturised lasers and small quantum sensors to produce unique remote sensing payloads for space deployment. Total project value of $5.5M. It is wonderful to see this awarded across two Research Schools, and with such prominent Australian technology companies. The image above shows a cold atom cell from John’s lab. (image credit: Sam Legge)
Great news from the Integrated Materials Design team (DMP) comprising Professor Sean Smith (Director NCI) and Drs Xin Tan and Hassan Tahini. Their Nature Catalysis article, “A single-Pt-atom-on-Ru-nanoparticle electrocatalyst for CO-resilient methanol oxidation” has just been published with co-authors from UNSW, Los Alamos National Laboratory, University of Science and Technology of China, North Carolina State University, Gatan, Sandia National Laboratories and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, and is set to be a landmark work.
Have a great week,
Tim |

Metaphotonics Gains Intelligence
|
|
The team of collaborators from the School, with colleagues from the ITMO University, presented the field of intelligent metaphotonics –the area of science at the junction of artificial intelligence and metaphotonics. They provided the evaluation of metaphotonics functionalities underpinned by artificial intelligence and presented a summary of the concepts of machine learning with some specific examples developed and demonstrated for metasystems and metasurfaces. The project was driven mainly by a PhD student Mr. Sergey Krasikov and Dr. Aaron Tranter. The paper is published in Opto-Electronic Advances (Impact Factor=9.682), and it can be found at DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210147 |
