Tanya M. Monro

Since 2005, Tanya Monro has been the Chair of Photonics and the Director of the Centre of Expertise in Photonics within the School of Chemistry & Physics at the University of Adelaide. From 1998 to 2004, Tanya worked at the ORC at the University of Southampton, UK, on silica and soft glass microstructured optical fibers. Prior to this she completed a PhD at the University of Sydney, Australia, on self-written waveguides in photosensitive glasses. Her current research within the Centre of Expertise in Photonics focuses on the design, fabrication and device applications of new classes of soft glass microstructured optical fibers, including work on new transmission fibres, highly nonlinear fibres, chem/bio sensing with new fibres and novel fibre lasers.
