Biography
Kayn Forbes has been a Lecturer at UEA since September 2022. He was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of Chemistry from 2019-2022 where he previously obtained his PhD in 2018 under the supervision of Professor David L. Andrews. His research interests broadly involve studying the interaction between light and matter using both quantum and classical methods. Specific topics currently being studied include the nano-optics of structured light and optical vortices, chirality, optical activity, interparticle interactions, plasmonics, and nanophotonics.
