Speaker's Bio:
Philip Russell is a Director of the newly founded Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Professor of Physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He obtained his D.Phil. (1979) degree at the University of Oxford and has subsequently held positions in France, Germany, the USA and the UK. He specializes in the behaviour of light in periodically structured materials and waveguides, and was the founder of BlazePhotonics Ltd (2001 to 2004) whose aim was the exploitation of photonic crystal fibre. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Optical Society of America and has won several international awards for his research.
