Biography
Prof. Gin Jose University of Leeds, UK
Biography: Prof. Jose’s research interests are in the areas of photonic glasses, femtosecond pulsed laser deposition and plasma implantation, planar wave guide devices on glass, silicon and polymer platforms, and photonic biosensors. The ultrafast laser plasma doping (ULPD) process in glass that he invented has been the core technology behind novel optoelectronic applications that he is developing. He is leading a large EPSRC-UK functional materials manufacturing research project for developing ULPD for application in advanced integrated photonics for optical data communication (www.seamatics.org). Glasses functionalised using ULPD are attractive for non-invasive biosensing, integrated photonics, anti-counterfeiting/printing in glass bottles (www.ultramatis.com) and toughening of glass for displays. A number of researchers and industrial partners are involved in these research and development activities of his group. Prof. Jose received his MSc and PhD degrees in Physics from University of Calicut, India and Mahatma Gandhi University, India respectively. He was a research fellow at the Polytechnic of Milan, Italy during 2001-2002. In 2003 he joined the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati and was a Senior Lecturer/Assistant Professor there until 2007. In 2007, he joined School of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Leeds, UK as Senior Research Fellow and Project Manager, and since March 2013 he is the Professor and Chair in Functional Materials there.
