Features
Received the Monash Postgraduate Publication Award
The Postgraduate Publications Award (PPA) funds high-achieving students with sharing their research findings with the wider public through publishing in professional journals or books. The Postgraduate Publications Award is extremely competitive. Students are ranked by their Faculties based on the eligibility criteria and recommended to the Selection Committee for final determination.
Quantum-enhanced detection for chip-scale wireless communications
Our research team has unveiled a comprehensive theoretical framework: a quantum-scale terahertz signal detector and demodulator. This innovative approach taps into the quantum behavior of charge carriers when exposed to intense periodic driving. Our findings have been published in the journal IOP Physica Scripta.
The results of our study published in Nature Scientific Reports
Our study on predicting the propagation characteristics of SPP modes at a Schottky junction exposed to a dressing electromagnetic field. The proposed improvements are compatible with existing SPP‐based waveguiding technologies and could lead to breakthroughs in the design and fabrication of state‐of‐the‐art nanoscale integrated circuits and devices in the near future.
Quantum engineering meets nanoscale data processing
Breaking through the barriers of conventional optical waveguides, our latest discovery on dressed plasmonic waveguides. Catch our exhilarating publication, now featured on Phys.org as a scintillating news article.
SPIE Sensors + Imaging Symposium in Germany showcases our findings
At the SPIE conference in Berlin, Germany, we shared our research on how high-intensity radiation impacts surface plasmonic polariton modes in plasmonic waveguides, particularly focusing on the polarization effect.
Our research chosen for the "Staff Picks" editorial column in Wolfram Research
Our study on dressed quantum Hall systems has earned us a place in the editorial column of Wolfram Community. The high caliber of our work has been acknowledged, and our findings are now being recognized by this prominent professional networking forum.
Unlocking the mysteries of transport properties in quantum Hall systems
Our novel mathematical model capable of predicting transport properties of a quantum system when exposed to a magnetic and electromagnetic field has been published in the Physical Review B journal.
Received the RTP Scholarship by the Australian Government
Research Training Program (RTP) scholarships are fiercely competitive and awarded based on exceptional academic achievements, with research publications carrying significant weight in the selection process.
The Prof. K. K. Y. W. Perera Award for highest GPA was received
This award recognizes the Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering graduate from the University of Moratuwa who achieved the highest grade point average across all final year subjects.
Recognition for our scalable autonomous farming robot
Our revolutionary agricultural robot takes center stage in DailyMirror news.
Bronze medal secured at international physics olympiad
Back in July 2013, I had the honor of participating in the International Physics Olympiad in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I competed against some of the brightest minds in physics from all over the world.
