Biography
Matthew Arnold is an Associate Professor in Applied Physics; he was appointed to this position in 2017 having joined UTS in 2007. He was awarded a PhD degree from the University of Otago (NZ) in physics in 2005 for his work on innovative planar processing techniques for obliquely deposited polarizing filter arrays. He has held visiting positions at the Fraunhofer Institute Jena (2001), UTS (2006), University of Southampton (2008) and University of Sydney (2011).
Research Interest
Prof Arnold conducts research on controlling light using nanostructures. Computational methods include; surface integrals, volume integrals, spherical harmonics, plane wave expansions, finite elements, finite-difference-time-domain. Experimental methods include; oblique physical vapour deposition, generalized ellipsometry, spectrophotometry, polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron beam lithography, optical lithography, reactive ion etching. Specific research interests involve: - optical properties of mesoscopic condensed systems - material properties, patterning, and filter design of obliquely-grown dielectrics - plasmonic imaging, sensing and radiance control - geometric optimization of plasmonic resonators - new materials for plasmonics.
