Greg is the Technical Director of Mesophotonics
Limited.
He started his professional career at Philips Research Laboratories
in Redhill, Surrey. After ten years in Industry he joined
the Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the
University of Southampton. In December 2000 he became Professor
of Photonics in the Microelectronics Group.
His research during this time was in two main areas; novel
growth systems for silicon compatible materials and silicon-based
optoelectronics. Greg designed, built & developed, 4 LPCVD
systems for the Microelectronics Group at the University,
the latest system being a large 6-chamber cluster-tool. These
systems are used for research into novel devices incorporating
Si, SiGe, SiGeC and Silicon Nitride.
Greg's main interest has always been Photonics, and he started
building his research in this area during 1993. Work on Photonic
Crystals in particular commenced in 1995, with the first significant
publications appearing between 1998-1999. During this period
he demonstrated the "World's First" results for
near infrared photonic crystal fabricated in Silicon; photonic
Crystal operating in the visible part of the spectrum; photonic
Crystal beam splitter and photonic quasicrystal (subject of
an April 2000, Nature paper). He has published over 90 refereed
papers and is currently preparing a comprehensive book on
photonic crystals.
Greg is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and a Chartered
Engineer.
