Dr Andriy Serebryannikov— Endeavour Research Fellowship (Postdoctoral)
Home institution: Health Science University Mongolia
Host institution: James Cook University, Townsville
/The personal interaction and extensive exchange of knowledge will create a solid basis for future joint work. The Endeavour Research Fellowship programme will also give me the opportunity to become familiar with the very strong Australian photonics research community.
Dr Andriy Serebryannikov completed his qualifications as an engineer-electrophysicist at the Kharkiv Polytechnic University in the Ukraine in 1990. He is currently an adjunct at Poland’s Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan where he is working at the Nanomaterials Physics Division. He is the head of a new national research project that has recently been started. He has also authored numerous papers in the fields of photonics, surface waves, metamaterials, and advanced electromagnetics that have been published in journals such as Optics Express, Applied Physics Letters, Optics Letters, and Physical Review B.
Under his Endeavour Research Fellowship Dr Serebryannikov will travel to Australia to undertake postdoctoral research at the University of Sydney under the supervision of Professor Martijn de Sterke. His programme will be dedicated to optical and microwave devices composed of multiple resonators, which represent, in some senses, equivalent of organ pipes that may create a desired “tone” or mixture of the "tones". These structures and devices are typically compromised by reflections as a result of mismatch that is similar to the situation when sound of the pipes is distorted by reflections from the objects located in the organ's proximity (e.g. echo).
The proposed fellowship programme is aimed to develop a theoretical framework enabling elimination or significant reduction of reflections so that the “sounding” can be close to the ideal one. Dr Andriy Serebryannikov says that realisation of the programme will allow him to efficiently exploit the existing research experience and find perspective directions, in which future research can be conducted.
Dr Serebryannikov expects that his fellowship will be an important step towards establishing long-lasting collaborations between his home and host universities.
About his fellowship, Andriy says: “The personal interaction and extensive exchange of knowledge will create a solid basis for future joint work. The Endeavour Research Fellowship programme will also give me the opportunity to become familiar with the very strong Australian photonics research community.”
