Personal profile

Biography

Dr Haoran Ren is currently holding an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship at the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University. He held a Macquarie University Research Fellowship at Macquarie University and a Humboldt Research Fellowship at LMU Munich. He holds an Honorary Research Fellow position at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Macquarie University. He got a PhD from Swinburne University of Technology in 2017. He is an Associate Investigator for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) and a member of APL Photonics Early Career Editorial Advisory Board. He was awarded the 2022 ANZOS Geoff Opat Early Career Researcher Prize, the 2017 Victoria Fellowship, and the 2016 Outstanding Self-financed Chinese Students Abroad (the Special Prize). His nanophotonics research exploits the full potential and multi-dimensional nature of light, seeking to uncover the underlying physics in structured light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. His research has been featured by 2023 Rising Star of Light Candidate Award, 2022 Emerging Leaders in Journal of Optics and 2022 MQ Research Spotlight.
