Professor Kamal Alameh has over 21 years of research experience in photonics, optoelectronics and Opto-VLSI, since receiving his PhD from The University of Sydney in 1993.
Professor Kamal Alameh is the Director of the Electron Science Research Institute, Edith Cowan University, and Director of the WA Centre of Excellence for MicroPhotonic Systems. He is also Adjunct Professor with the Department of Information and Communications at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea, South Wales University, UK, and Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Professor Alameh has pioneered the integration of microelectronic and photonic sciences and developed a new and practical research area, “MicroPhotonics” that achieved innovative solutions for the ICT, Agriculture, Health, Consumer Electronics, Renewable Energy, Environment, Oil and Gas, Security and Defence sectors. Professor Alameh has also established an international network of research collaboration with world-class international research institutions.
Professor Alameh has led many R&D projects including (i) “Development of energy-harvesting clear glass window panels”, (ii) “Development of a pre-production prototype for a laser-based plant sensing weed control system”, (iii) Development of high-speed bidirectional optical interconnects for board-to-board communications”, (iv) “Development of micro- and nano-structured fibre-optic sensors for water quality monitoring”, (v) “Development of multiport, multiwavelength tunable lasers”, and (vi) “Development of plasmonics-based high-speed Metal Semiconductor Metal Photodetectors”.
Professor Alameh has published 330+ peer reviewed journal and conference papers including three book chapters. In addition he has filed 26 patents over technologies and discoveries that have commercial potential. He has been invited to present at leading international conferences and workshops for more than 30 occasions and his research output had been the basis of more than 20 invited
