It was great to run another optics evening for the Goodwood 3rd Scout Troup yesterday, full of light, lasers & M&M’S! Thanks to Chris Perrella @LouisaEsdaile & Craig Ingram for helping out & the @UniAdelSciences The Optical Society now Optica student chapter for lending us their light kit

Thanks to everyone who came out for my Uni of Adelaide Research Tuesday talk this evening. So great to have so many people interested in learning about the promise of quantum mechanics, including great work here at @IPASadelaide @UniAdelSciences !!

Very excited to be starting my Fulbright Future Scholarship at Columbia University today!! Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program Uni of Adelaide

Our latest paper on creating a high-transmission fibre ring resonator has been published in OSA Continuum. Congrats to Jarrah Mik in particular for his hard work on this project! @IPASadelaide @UniAdelSciences Optica Publishing Group doi.org/10.1364/OSAC.2…

Today I walked from 106 St to the Brooklyn Bridge, mostly along #NYC #SummerStreets. What an amazing city! And that’s all of my exercise for the next 3 months... The Fulbright Program Fulbright Australia

This weekend I went to a 1920s jazz party on Govenor’s island. A fantastic atmosphere & felt a million miles (& 100 years!) away from the city. Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program Jazz Age Lawn Party

Had a fantastic time at the #USOpen yesterday: great tennis, good atmosphere & perfect weather! Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program

Today I had the opportunity to visit Google's Code Next lab in #NYC and see the amazing facilities they have to excite and inspire the next generation of #STEM professionals. What a great program! Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program

This week it was great to visit Purdue University & City College of NY, learn about some of the great science going on there in the #QuantumTechnology & nanofab areas & present some of our latest results from @IPASadelaide @UniAdelSciences! Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program

New favourite outreach activity: Jello Waveguides! It was great to be able to take part in some @CUSEASOutreach with a group of local high school students during my time in #NYC. I'm definitely bringing this back to @IPASadelaide Uni of Adelaide. Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program

It was a real privilege to be able to run an @IPASadelaide #laserradio workshop alongside Google {Code Next} staff yesterday. An amazing program run by amazing people with amazing students! The Fulbright Program Fulbright Australia Uni of Adelaide

Goodbye Columbia University! I've had a fantastic time in #NYC and I'm sad to be leaving such a great group of people, but I'm also excited about returning to @IPASadelaide Uni of Adelaide. A huge thank you to Fulbright Australia The Fulbright Program for giving me this amazing opportunity!
