Andreas Georgiou

Dr Andreas Georgiou serves as an Engineering Fellow at Robinson College, University of Cambridge, within the Department of Engineering since 2007. Previously, he held a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College. He earned both his BA/MEng and PhD in Engineering from the University of Cambridge's Jesus College.

Georgiou specializes in Optical Engineering with 25 years of cross-sector experience spanning academia and industry. His research focuses on computational solutions for ray and wave optical design across diverse applications including space-based sensors, telescopes, medical devices, and telecommunications. Over the past 15 years, he has concentrated on Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) optics, diffractive optics, and holographic systems. This work has produced over 30 patents and 20+ peer-reviewed publications in head-mounted displays and optical communications.

He actively teaches AR/VR courses at international conferences including Display Week and Photonics West while providing industry consulting services. At Cambridge, he supervises undergraduate Mathematics and Computing for Engineering courses. Georgiou maintains strong industry engagement through his optical design expertise and prototyping capabilities, bridging theoretical physics with practical engineering solutions.

Outside academia, he pursues outdoor hiking, eclectic music interests spanning classical to electronic dance genres, and hands-on electronics projects involving Arduino programming and robotics.
