Research Fellowships 2019
The fibre-optic gyroscope is a key navigation technology for today’s airliners and satellites. Dr Fokoua develops optical fibres that guide light in air or vacuum, to enable low-cost and significantly more precise fibre-optic gyroscopes. Such devices will navigate autonomous vehicles, especially when fragile global navigation satellite system signals are inaccessible.
