My research is focused on the application of  advanced plasma ion implantation techniques to the creation of new photonic devices and structures, with a particular focus on the fabrication of silicon-compatible photonic materials and devices.

Graduate Students:  Marcel Risch, B.Sc.
 
Graduate Alumni: Casper J.T. Steenkamp, M.Sc.

Our work has three inter-related thrusts:

Advanced Plasma Equipment Development

Physics of Processing Plasmas

Materials for Silicon Compatible Photonics
