About UML

Welcome to the Ultrafast and Microspectroscopy Laboratories

 
UML particpates in a node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray Science (CXS) which commenced in 2005.We are involved in the Short Wavelength Laser Source Program investigating High Harmonic Generation of coherent extreme UV/X-ray radiation. We are also involved in developing correlative methods of imaging including super-resolution modes of fluorescence microscopy.
UML is involved in founding the Cellular NanoImaging Consortium (CNIC) – a body to bring together parties in Victoria interested in all aspects of advanced optical imaging

 

News and events:

  • Melbourne Materials Institute Interdisciplinary PhD Scholarship program opportunities now open (see here for details)
  • Prime Minister's Education Assistance Program for Japan funding awarded for exchange between UML and Fukumura Lab., Sendai
  • Dr Xiaotao Hao awarded a Distinguished Lectureship Award for work on Fluorescent Conjugated Polymers issued from the Chemical Society of Japan.
  • We have recently moved to our new ultrafast laser and microscopy laboratories – details
  • PhD positions are available within our group as part of our activities of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray Science. We are involved in developing super-resolution optical imaging methods, the use of ultrashort soft X-ray laser sources and ultrafast coherent spectroscopy.
  • B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. projects available for 2012.
  • Summer/winter studentships available – please contact Trevor Smith for details.
