Bio: Feng Luan obtained his Master and Bachelor degrees in Department of Physics of Peking University in Peking (China). His research project for the Master degree was "Micro-structured InGaN/GaN LEDs". He joined the University of Bath as a PhD candidate in October 2001. Under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Knight, he developed extensive experience on design and fabrication of many kinds of photonic crystal fibres. He also investigated the origin of the nonlinearity of hollow-core bandgap fibres and demonstrated the cancellation of soliton self-frequency shift in a solid core PCF. After completing his PhD he joined the CPPM group as a postdoctor for one year and half, during which he conducted research on the soliton collision process in cobweb PCFs and the bend loss properties of all solid bandgap fibres.
