Regular biography
Oleg Kameshkov is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of PHY at The Australian National University. His research focuses on terahertz polarisation optics, specifically exploring compact, low-loss polarisation optics through artificial birefringence in metamaterials. He is affiliated with the Non-linear Physics Centre and works under the supervision of Professor Ilya Shadrivov. Kameshkov's work aims to overcome limitations of natural crystals in polarisation optics applications.
Scholar-generated biography
Oleg Kameshkov is a PhD student at the Australian National University, focusing on advanced optical and terahertz technologies. His research explores the diffraction of Bessel beams, vortex beams, and their applications in generating surface plasmon polaritons with orbital angular momentum. He investigates terahertz vortex beams, diffraction gratings, and their use in refractive index sensing and optical characterization of thin films. His work also includes the development of diffractive optical elements for terahertz switching and the simulation of diffraction phenomena for experiments at facilities like the Novosibirsk free electron laser. Kameshkov's research bridges theoretical and experimental approaches in terahertz and optical physics.
