Toby is a postdoctoral research associate contributing to the ARC COMBS centre working with Astrocombs at Swinburne University of Technology. Previously he was employed at RMIT University where he modelled dispersion in Lithium Niobate waveguides. Toby completed his PhD studying dual comb distance metrology with Ti:sapphire lasers at Heriot Watt University and he continued there for 2 years working with Ti:sapphire astrocombs.
Research projects
Helping astronomical observatories never miss a night’s sky
By bringing together laser physicists and astronomers – two fields that rarely intersect – our team is developing more robust and accessible measurement equipment to ensure astronomical observatories never miss a night’s sky.
The microcomb could transform industries – but only if more people can use them
Our microcombs have already shown revolutionary outputs for information and intelligence and led to record-breaking internet speeds on a single optical chip. At COMBS we see even greater potential – but only if more people could use them.
