Professor Arthur James Lowery (BSc, PhD) is a full-time faculty member at Monash University's Faculty of Engineering, specifically within the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE). He holds the ARC Laureate Fellow distinction and has served as Head of Department (2007-2012). His research spans electro-photonics, optical OFDM, and brain-machine interfaces, with extensive work on photonic integrated circuits and fiber nonlinearity compensation. He leads major projects like COMBS: Centre for Optical Microcombs (2023-2029) and previously directed the Monash Vision Group for bionic eye development.
His educational background includes a BSc (Hons) from Durham University and a PhD from Nottingham University. Current research focuses on high-capacity optical communication networks, energy-efficient photonic devices, and direct cortical vision restoration systems. Notable grants include a $72M ARC Centres of Excellence award (2022) and a $924k MRFF Frontiers grant (2019) targeting brain-machine interface commercialization.
His Google Scholar publications (over 15 recent works) reveal a trajectory toward soliton microcomb applications, photonic neuromorphic computing, and low-latency optical processing. Awards include Fellowships from IEEE and ATSE, the Clunies Ross Award (2007), and the Peter Doherty Prize (2006). He actively seeks postdocs and graduate students for research in photonic chip design, optical signal processing, and brain-machine interfaces, with scholarships available.
- Scientific Honors: IEEE Fellow (2009), ATSE Fellow (2007), Clunies Ross Award (2007), Peter Doherty Prize (2006)
- Key Grants: $72M ARC (2022), $924k MRFF (2019), $440k ARC Discovery (2019), $500k MTPconnect (2018)
