Current projects

• HiSpec (W. M. Keck Observatory, with Caltech). Fabrication, packaging and delivery of the photonic lantern feed for a next-generation high-resolution spectrograph.
• Photonic Lantern based wavefront inference and correction for astronomy and free-space communication. 
• Studying of the Einstellung effect within large language model based physics coding pipelines. 
• Characterisation of effect of packaging on the modal and polarisation behaviour of photonic lanterns. 
• Hybrid-Mode-Selective photonic lanterns for telecommunications and astronomy.

Supervision

I am associate supervisor to two PhD candidates within the SAIL group and have supervised visiting postgraduate researchers, most recently from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía.
