Michael Steel was awarded a B.Sc.(Hons) and PhD (1996) from the University of Sydney for
research in the multiple wavelength interactions in nonlinear optical fibre Bragg
gratings. After postdoctoral work in quantum optics at the University of Auckland
and photonic crystals at Columbia University, he joined the photonics
software company RSoft Design Group, Inc. In seven years at RSoft, he designed
and developed a number of widely used photonics modelling software packages, including
BandSOLVE, the world's first commercial photonic band structure analysis tool.
He joined MQ Photonics in the Dept of Physics at Macquarie University in 2007.
His research interests include polarization properties of photonic crystal fibres,
design of high-Q photonic crystal cavities, slow light structures
and magnetic photonic crystals.
