Professor
PhD, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom; BSc(hons), Monash University, Australia

Biography

Jeff leads the ultrafast spectroscopy group at Swinburne where he develops new experimental approaches to reveal ever more details in order to understand and control the physics of complex condensed matter systems.  His research interests span from photosynthetic light-harvesting, to semiconductor nanaostructures and strongly correlated materials (eg high temperature superconductors). Much of this work is beig done within the ARC Centre of Excellence for Future Low-Energy Elecrtonics Technologies, in which Jeff is a chief Investigator, but he has also attracted funding from Discovery Project grants, large Equipment grants and an ARC Future Fellowship, whcih have allowed him to build a successful reserach group.
