This research develops machine learning techniques to improve fibre-optic access networks, enabling faster, more reliable, and lower-cost internet connections. By allowing transmitters to adapt using receiver feedback, it reduces signal distortion, equipment complexity, and power consumption, helping build resilient communication networks capable of supporting future digital societies.

This research develops advanced optical imaging technology to observe neurons firing in real time throughout the brain. By combining high-speed microscopy with flexible fibre-optic image relays, the system overcomes the challenge of light scattering, enabling clearer recordings of neural activity and deeper insights into brain function.
