Rate My Professor Anna Peacock

Peacock's research focuses on nonlinear optics, fibre optics, silicon photonics, and novel photonic materials, with a current emphasis on developing semiconductor waveguides in both fibre and planar formats for nonlinear optical applications. She has authored 296 publications, which have collectively received over 6,500 citations, underscoring her substantial impact in photonics and optoelectronics. Key publications include "High-efficiency mid-infrared wavelength conversion in silicon waveguides" (APL Photonics, 2025), "Intermodal four-wave mixing in silicon core fibers: enabling versatile wavelength conversion in the mid-infrared range" (Optics Express, 2025), "Laser-drawn silicon core fibres for Raman amplification and wavelength conversion" (2025), and "Laser-drawn silicon core fibers for nonlinear photonics" (IEEE IPC, 2024). Her accolades include election as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng, 2024), Fellow of the IEEE Photonics Society (FIEEE), Fellow of Optica (FOSA), Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP), and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Peacock also holds the position of Editor-in-Chief for Optics Communications and acts as Deputy Lead for the postgraduate course OPTO6015 Optical Fibres and Waveguides.
