He obtained his PhD in 2003 from the Max-Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany. Dr. Andrey research interests include Nanophotonics, optical nanoantennas, Fano resonances, all-dielectric resonant nanoparticles, nonlinear optics, topological nanophotonics, microcavities and thermal radiation. In 2007 Dr. Andrey was awarded by APD Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. It allowed him to initiate the research on a new class of tunable photonic structures infiltrated with liquid crystals.
