Dragomir Neshev

Dragomir Neshev is a Professor and Queen Elizabeth II Fellow at the Australian National University (ANU), leading the Experimental Photonics group at the Nonlinear Physics Centre. He is Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS). His research spans nonlinear optics, plasmonics, metamaterials, and topological insulator applications in photonics.

• Affiliations: ANU (since 2002), CUDOS Centre, TMOS Director
• Roles: Editor for Scientific Reports, International Journal of Optics, and Advances in Applied Physics

Research Interests: Focuses on meta-optics, nanoscale manipulation of light-matter interactions (e.g., plasmonic nanostructures), topological photonics, and graphene-based optical systems. Recent work includes emission control in nanoscale environments and topological insulator analogues in photonics.

• Awards: Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship, ARC Australian Research Fellowship, Marie-Curie Fellowship

Advise/Grants: Leads major ARC-funded initiatives. Supervises research in metamaterials and meta-optics through the Experimental Photonics group. Active in international collaborations.

Labs/Teams: Director of TMOS, leads Experimental Photonics group at ANU's Nonlinear Physics Centre.
