Professor in Physics, The University of Sydney, Australia. Pastimes include interstellar lightsails, nano photonics, THz, radiative cooling, teaching physics, and unnecessarily elaborate cooking. All opinions are my own and not the university's.

The Dr. Peter Domachuk Postgraduate Research Stipend Scholarship honours the life and work of Dr. Peter Domachuk, a physicist and researcher at the University of Sydney. Dr. Domachuk completed his undergraduate and Ph.D. studies at the University of Sydney, focusing on optofluidics.

Congratulations to my PhD student Jadon Lin for this review paper on lightsails. I hope it will get many more people into this fascinating field. A lot more research needed before we achieve interstellar travel, but the more of us work on it, the sooner it'll happen! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Lightsails for Interstellar Travel: Photonics for Propulsion, Thermal Management and Stability

Lightsails are a highly promising spacecraft concept that has attracted interest in recent years due to its potential to travel at near-relativistic speeds. Such speeds, which current conventional cra...
