Research supervision
Daniel is a Chemical Physicist with an interest in the optics of materials. He joined RMIT as an Australian Research Council Future Fellow in 2016.
Research interests
- Plasmonics
- Photochemistry
- Strongly interacting systems
Awards
- ARC Future Fellowship (FT140100514)
- ARC Post-Doctoral Fellowship (DP110101767)
- Victoria Fellowship
- MCN/ANNF Technology Fellowship
- Australian Academy of Science Scientific visit to USA
- Chancellor's Prize for Excellence in the PhD thesis (Science and Engineering)
Research Activities
- Plasmonics for photochemistry: We create metal nanostructure that harvest sunlight for applications in synthetic chemistry.
- Strongly-coupled systems: We create artificial structures where light and matter become hybridised. These structures consists of a material enclosed in an optical cavity
