Ying-Lung Daniel Ho is a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) and a Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Fellow in the Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering at Northumbria University since September 1, 2019. His research interests centre on nanofabrication, modelling, and characterisation of novel 3D periodic material-based micro-/nanostructures to enable applications in nanophotonics, optoelectronics, energy storage, medical applications, and quantum technologies. Daniel’s research group (Nanophotonic Engineering Laboratory) focuses on the realization of high-resolution artificially structured materials for efficient control of light-matter interactions, developing opto-electrical characteristics, direct wide angle-resolved scattering reflectance measurements using Fourier imaging spectroscopy (FIS), and on the fabrication of devices and materials based on a diverse range of nanofabrication approaches (FIB, DLW-2PP, ELB, CVD, and ALD, etc.)
Daniel’s current funding (~£0.5M) supports including 3D Nanophotonics in Artificially Structured Chalcogenide Materials (EPSRC New Investigator Award - EP/V040030/1) and Exploring Topology-Optimised Metasurface Architectures for Solar-thermal Absorption (Royal Society Research Grants - RGS\R1\221031).
Prior to this appointment, Daniel received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Taipei University of Technology in Taiwan and gained his PhD in Quantum Photonics in 2007 undertaking his doctoral research at the University of Bristol, UK. Daniel then joined the group of Prof. John Rarity in the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs as a Postdoctoral Researcher and then a Research Fellow where he was the Co-I of two EPSRC Research projects (EP/M009033/1 and EP/P034446/1) and led research in 3D direct laser writing system using two-photon polymerisation. Currently, he is also a Visiting Academic at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Bristol.
Daniel's research is concerned with both the theory and application of artificially structured electromagnetic materials for photonic engineering, quantum technologies, and energy applications.
