ARC Centre of Excellence announced

Professors Ken Crozier and Ann Roberts are delighted to be part of a new ARC Centre of Excellence in Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS). Led from ANU, TMOS will develop the next-generation of miniaturised optical systems with functionalities beyond what is conceivable today. By harnessing the disruptive concept of meta-optics, the Centre will overcome complex challenges in light generation, manipulation and detection at the nanoscale. The Centre brings together a trans-disciplinary team of world-leaders in science, technology and engineering to deliver scientific innovations in optical systems for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.The research outcomes will underpin future technologies, including real-time holographic displays, artificial vision for autonomous systems to see the invisible, and ultra-fast light-based WiFi. Ken is the Deputy Director of the Centre and Ann will co-lead the Centre’s Detection Theme.
