Jacinda Webb serves as an Academic Casual at Macquarie University's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, concurrently pursuing a Master of Research. Her work centers on developing integrated photonic devices for astronomical instrumentation, particularly in high-contrast imaging applications for exoplanet detection and cosmological studies.
Webb's research expertise spans optical interferometry, exoplanet detection techniques, and integrated photonics. She has pioneered tricoupler devices enabling simultaneous fringe tracking and beam combination in nulling interferometry, critical for next-generation exoplanet imaging. Her contributions to the MAGPI Survey provide valuable insights into cosmic reionization through analysis of Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies and ionized bubbles in the early universe.
Analysis of her 2022-2024 publications reveals concentrated advancements in astrophotonic technologies for astronomical applications. Her work demonstrates significant progress in infrared interferometry (J- and H-bands) for exoplanet detection while contributing to cosmological surveys through spectroscopic analysis of high-redshift galaxies. This dual focus positions her research at the critical intersection of optical engineering and observational astrophysics, addressing fundamental challenges in telescope instrumentation.
