Dr Haoran Ren is a Honorary Research Fellow at Macquarie University. He is currently working as an ARC DECRA Fellow at Monash University. His nanophotonic research aims to develop advanced optical materials and nanotechnology for both fundamental light-matter interactions and broad photonic applications. Dr Ren received a PhD from Swinburne University of Technology in 2017. He was a postdoc at RMIT University from 2017 to 2018. In 2018, Dr Ren won a Victoria Fellowship to visit the CNRS in France. In 2019, Dr Ren was awarded a Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and moved his research to LMU Munich in Germany. In December 2020, he started a MQRF at Macquarie University. Dr Ren is an Associate Investigator for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS).
