Professor Anna Peacock

Professor Peacock holds the position of Deputy Head of School for Education in the Zepler Institute.

Professor Anna C. Peacock is head of the Nonlinear Semiconductor Photonics group within the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC).  She obtained her BSc and MSc in Physics from The University of Auckland (New Zealand), before moving to the ORC to undertake a PhD in Nonlinear Fibre Optics. She was subsequently awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship, in recognition of her pioneering work on fiberized semiconductor photonic devices. Her research is currently focused on developing novel semiconductor waveguides, both fibre and planar technologies, for use in nonlinear optical applications. She currently holds an EPSRC Research Fellowship in the area of integrated nonlinear silicon photonics.

Professor Peacock is a fellow of Optica (FOSA), the Institute of Physics (FInstP), the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and a senior member of the IEEE Photonics Society. She is also the VP of Professional and Technical Development within the IEEE Photonics Society and Editor-in-Chief for the journal Optics Communications.
