Photonics Research at St Andrews

The School undertakes research in both theoretical and experimental areas of photonics. We provide links below to the pages maintained by the various research groups.

The Wellcome Trust is funding strategic support at St Andrews to strengthen research at the interface of chemistry, biology, physics and medicine. These would typically be a precursor to more substantive funding.
