The Optical Sciences Centre is dedicated to pursuing excellence and impact through world-leading research, focusing on both fundamental and applied areas of optical sciences and related areas. Led by Professor David Moss (Director) and Professor Chris Vale and Professor Saulius Juodkazis (Deputy Directors), our centre incorporates staff from the previous Centre for Micro-Photonics and Centre for Quantum and Optical Science to create one of the largest optical research facilities in Australia.
Our vision is to conduct research and development across the full spectrum of research engagement and translation. From fundamental studies in the way light interacts with matter, through to the development of technologies for market, we foster cross-disciplinary collaborations that address scientific challenges in fields encompassing classical and quantum photonics, light-matter interactions, nanotechnology, biomedical and biosciences, quantum gases and quantum materials.
