DESCRIPTION:Professor Benjamin Eggleton is the Director of The University 
 of Sydney Nano Institute. He also currently serves as co-Director of the N
 SW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN).  He was previously an ARC Laureate Fello
 w and an ARC Federation Fellow twice and was founding Director of the ARC 
 Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (
 CUDOS) from 2003-2017. Eggleton is the author or coauthor of more than 49
 0 journal publications\, including Science\, Nature Photonics\, Nature Phy
 sics\, Nature Communications\, Physical Review Letters and Optica and over
  200 invited presentations. His journal papers have been cited 22\,000 tim
 es according to webofscience with an h-number of 71 (93 in google scholar)
 . Eggleton is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS)\, the 
 Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE)\, the Optical Soci
 ety of America\, IEEE Photonics and SPIE. He is Editor-in-Chief of APL Pho
 tonics.\nNanophotonics deals with the manipulating of lightwaves at the na
 noscale using nanostructures\, such as nanowires\, photonic crystals\, pla
 smonics and metamaterials. My talk will review recent breakthroughs in ach
 ieving on-chip control of lightwaves using nanophotonic circuits etched in
 to hybrid planar geometries\, particularly silicon based. I will emphasize
  new ultracompact signal processing functions realized using nonlinear opt
 ical effects\, including Brillouin scattering\, which harness the interact
 ion between light and sound waves for applications in telecommunications\,
  sensing and microwave technologies.\n \n[1] BJ Eggleton\, CG Poulton\, P
