Neil is an expert on the nonlinear propagation of light in optical fibres and periodic media. He has been working on Photonic Crystal Fibres since they were first invented and has been involved in both developing new methods for analysing their properties and in novel fabrication methods for making them.

Most recently he has been looking at ways to taper photonic crystal fibres and how such tapers can be used to control the properties of optical pulses passing through them. Neil is also actively involved in examining other nonlinear periodic media such as fibre Bragg gratings, nonlinear Photonic crystals and mode-locked fibre lasers.

He received his PhD in 1996 and joined the physics department in 2011 as associate professor.
