Short CV
Dr. MacDonald is a Senior Research Fellow with the Optoelectronics Research Centre’s Nanophotonics & Metamaterials Group and Manager of the University’s interdisciplinary EPSRC Programme on Nanostructured Photonic Metamaterials. He received MPhys and PhD degrees from the University of Southampton’s School of Physics and Astronomy and joined the school as a research fellow in 2001, before moving to the ORC in 2006. His research interests lie in the fields of ultrafast, electron-beam and phase-change nanophotonics, plasmonics and metamaterials. Dr. MacDonald sits on the program committees of the QEP-19 conference and IEEE Photonics Society Annual Meeting (Integrated Optics, Optoelectronics & Interconnects) and on the steering committee of the Institute of Physics’ Quantum Electronics & Photonics Group. He is a member of the Optical Society of America and the European Physical Society and participates in EU COST Actions MP0803 and MP0702.
