Congratulations to Prof Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem for being successfully awarded $3,359,464 ARC Industry Laureate Fellowship.

The ARC Industry Fellowships Program aims to create a pathway to support academic researchers in establishing careers, and industry-based researchers to work in university settings, with the aim of increased two-way mobility and skill-building in research collaboration, translation and commercialisation.聽The Industry Laureate Fellowships fund significant programs of research that deliver step-changes across a variety of industry settings.

The four-year fellowship will be a valuable opportunity for Heike to collaborate with Flawless Photonics group to develop efficient purification methods for ZBLAN optical fibres. ZBLAN is a fluoride glass that has the potential to overcome the limitations of silica glass, which is currently used to make fibre optic cables. By developing ZBLAN fibre optic cables, there is the potential for longer-distance light transport and higher data transfer rates which can meet the increasing demand for faster internet and global connectivity.

It is also exciting that this project will be the first in the world to develop automation of ZBLAN fibre manufacture to achieve fibre production at scale, enabling commercialisation in a range of industries including defence, mining, medical devices, and data communications.

This is an excellent opportunity to advance research and innovation in the broader field of optical glass and fibre technology.聽
