Andrey Miroshnichenko

Professor Andrey Miroshnichenko is a leading researcher at UNSW Canberra, specializing in Nanophotonics, Metamaterials, and Nonlinear Optics. A UNSW Scientia Fellow since 2017 and Highly Cited Researcher (Web of Science, 2019-2023), his work bridges fundamental physics and applied technologies for smart optical devices.

His research interests focus on resonant light-matter interactions in nanoscale systems, including:

• Bound states in the continuum (BICs) for ultra-efficient photonics
• Exciton-photon coupling in 2D materials
• Topological polarization singularities
• Nonlinear optical responses in metasurfaces
• Thermal radiation control via photonic crystals

Recent publications highlight trends in:

• 2D photodetector materials (e.g., Mo2C/SiC, TaC/SiC heterostructures)
• Active tuning of toroidal and anapole resonances
• Monte Carlo optimization for medical imaging systems
• Non-Hermitian acoustic resonators

Scientific awards include:

• Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship (2007)
• Future Fellowship (Australian Research Council, 2011)
• UNSW Scientia Fellowship (2017)
• Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher (2019-2023)
