• Photonic lantern design, fabrication, characterisation and optical packaging
• Astrophotonic instrumentation for telescopes, high-resolution spectroscopy and wavefront sensing
• Free-space optical communications and mode-diverse receiver architectures for turbulent channels
• Ultrafast laser inscription of waveguides and high-density photonic interconnects
• Spatial Division Multiplexing in Fibre Telecoms
• Modal and polarisation behaviour of tapered fibre devices, before and after packaging
• Characterisation of commercial optical fibre refractive index profiles for device modelling

I am particularly interested in the transition from laboratory demonstration to deployed instrument.
