Fiona Fleming

Dr. Fiona Fleming is a Research Associate at the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, affiliated with the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences. Her research focuses on advanced photonic devices and quantum technologies.

Research interests include:

• Design and optimization of avalanche photodiodes (Ge-on-Si)
• Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
• Infrared photodetection systems
• Noise reduction in quantum photonic devices
• CMOS-compatible optoelectronic integration

Her recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on improving performance metrics (efficiency, gain, noise reduction) in semiconductor-based photodetectors for infrared and single-photon applications. Collaborative work frequently appears in SPIE proceedings and optics journals.
