Biography
Prof Andre Luiten is Director of the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) and Chair of Experimental Physics at the University of Adelaide. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics. Prof Andre Luiten obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Western Australia in 1997, for which he was awarded the Bragg Gold Medal. He has subsequently held three prestigious Fellowships from the ARC. For his efforts Andre was the joint inaugural winner of the WA Premier’s Prize for Early Career Achievement in Science. Andre came to the University of Adelaide in 2013 to take up the Chair of Experimental Physics and a South Australian Research Fellowship from the Premier’s Research and Innovation Fund. He published 6 book chapters and authored 108 journal papers (with ~3,500 citations) and over 110 conference papers, and has raised over $18M for research. Prof Luiten’s work has aimed at the development of state-of-the-art instruments across many diverse fields of physics. He is particularly excited by the possibility of applying these instruments to solve problems, or to make measurements that were not previously possible. In recent times his group’s focus has broadened to include more practical measurements for assisting industry.
