My research interests are in the general area of optoelectronics, including integrated circuit based surface emitting laser devices, optically controlled smart tags, and optical sensors. I am also involved in the development of special glass materials based on embedded nanoparticles. In addition, I am taking steps to promote the integration of optical technology into microfluidic structures for medical instrumentation, such as lab-on-a-chip. Other interests include holography, fibre optic communications, and novel electronic materials.
