Bill Corcoran is an Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow at Monash University, focusing on optical communications and photonic communication systems. He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Sydney in 2011, concentrating on light-by-light control in photonic chips, particularly enhanced optical nonlinearities in silicon waveguides. Following his PhD, he held a post-doctoral position at Chalmers University of Technology from 2011 to 2013, where he researched a novel type of optical amplifier leveraging phase-sensitive fiber optic parametric amplification. In 2014, he joined Monash University as a project leader for the Terabit-per-second Systems flagship at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS), where he contributed to the development of high-capacity optical 'super-channels'. Since 2015, Bill has been part of the Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering department, where he established the Monash Photonic Communications Laboratory. His expertise aligns with various UN Sustainable Development Goals, contributing extensively to research in applied physics, communication systems, and optical technologies.
