David Spence received his MPhys degree in 1997 and completed his DPhil in 2001 at Oxford University, UK. He worked as a Research Assistant at Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford before moving to Macquarie University in 2004, where he completed an ARC Research fellowship (APDF) and holds a professorship at the MQ Photonics Research Centre. His research spans a wide range of topics in laser nonlinear optics, with notable contributions including the development of national-scale petawatt lasers for generating extreme ultraviolet (XUV) lasers, 25 femtosecond Raman lasers in the infrared, and 22 picosecond Q-switched microchip lasers. His publications often demonstrate a strong link between experimental work and theoretical models, particularly in the fields of Raman theory and polariton terahertz lasers. He has successfully translated research outcomes into industry applications, notably with the commercialization of products for retinal surgery. He has supervised six completed PhD students, with several graduates now working in high-tech industries and research institutes worldwide.
