\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nInstructor\u202fBiography:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nProfessor Benjamin Eggleton is a global leader in photonics, renowned for his pioneering contributions to nonlinear optics and all-optical signal processing. His groundbreaking research has led to major advances in the nonlinear optics of periodic media,\u00a0slow-light\u00a0in photonic crystals, ultrafast planar waveguide nonlinear optics, and\u00a0Brillouin integrated photonics.\u00a0Eggleton’s work on novel classes of nonlinear waveguides has redefined ultrafast optical signal processing on photonic chips, with his group holding multiple world records in the field. His breakthroughs in the nonlinear optics of chalcogenide glasses have enabled the development of ultrafast optical devices for telecommunications, record low-threshold supercontinuum sources, and compact on-chip parametric sources. Among his fundamental achievements are the first demonstrations of\u00a0Bragg and\u00a0gap soliton formation in periodic media and slow-light-enhanced nonlinear optics in photonic crystals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHe has authored or co-authored more than 520 journal publications and delivered over 200 invited presentations, with his work accumulating more than 30,000 citations and an h-index of 89 (Web of Science).\u00a0Eggleton was an Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellow and served as Director of the ARC Centre for Ultrahigh-Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS). He is currently Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Professor of Physics at the University of Sydney.\u00a0He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Sydney in 1996 before joining Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, as a Postdoctoral Member of Staff. In 2000, he was promoted to Research Director in the Specialty Fiber Business Division of Bell Laboratories, where he led forward-looking research supporting Lucent\u2019s optical\u00a0fiber\u00a0device innovations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/h4><\/div>
