Biography
Prof. Farrell is the founder and Director of the DIT Photonics Research Centre (PRC). He leads a multinational research team of researchers focusing on several areas of optical fiber sensing research, for example micro-fiber and nanofiber sensors for chemical and bio-sensing and sensors for composite materials. Prof. Farrell has led several long-term research collaborations with research groups in China, Poland and Australia. He has over 330 publications in the area of photonics and is an Associate Editor and referee for a range of Photonics journals and has been a member of international photonics conference technical committees. He was a Director for several years with the startup company PX Instrument Technology, focusing on the design of optical fiber system test and measurement technologies. He has been involved in a number of research networks, such as the EU COST Action on Optical Sensors. Prof. Farrell is also a visiting professor in China at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and at Harbin Engineering University and is a member of the OSA and SPIE.
Research Interest
