Dr. Behrad Gholipour

Former Projects
Dielectric and Phase-Change Metamaterials, Multimaterial Fibres

Short CV
Dr Gholipour obtained his PhD from the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the university of Southampton in 2012. He was awarded the EPSRC UK ICT Pioneer Prize for his work on planar chalcogenide optoelectronic and nanophotonic devices during this time. Subsequently he worked on ion-implantation into amorphous semiconductors for carrier-type reversal at the ORC as a Research fellow. This was followed by three years as a Project Leader at the Centre for Disruptive Photonic Technologies (CDPT) at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, focusing on multimaterial fiber and their applications. He is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Optolectronics Research Centre and the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton. His interests lie in the area of reconfigurable nanophotonic devices namely, chalcogenide and perovskite Phase change plasmonic and all-dielectric metasurfaces, topological insulators, multimaterial fibers including soft glass and metal cored fibers, as well as neuromorphic optics.
