Eleni-Asimina Kabouraki was awarded the Research Student Price Oral Presentation Award and an Attendance Bursary for Research Students at the Symposium J, E-MRS Spring Meeting 2013 for the presentation of her work: “Quantum dot based higher order nonlinear photonic devices”

The fabrication of cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dot (QD) containing 3D high-resolution nanostructures that exhibit higher order diffraction patterns and stop-gaps at visible wavelengths is presented. These structures are produced using direct laser writing (DLW) of novel hybrid organic-inorganic materials and are proposed as an emerging platform for photonic applications.
