Dr. Diana I. Galiakhmetova

D. Galiakhmetova received the B.S. degree with first-class honours in physics from Kazan Federal University, Russia, in 2018. There, she gained experience in Mössbauer spectroscopy and received four advanced academic scholarships for scientific achievements. In 2020, she received her M.S. degree with the thesis “The stability of single-walled carbon nanotubes saturable absorber for a fiber laser” in The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia. As a part of her master degree program, she had research internships in TirPhotonics LLC, Moscow, Russia and Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, Aston University, Birmingham, UK, where she conducted her research and development of ultrashort pulsed fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. She is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in photonics at Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, Aston University, Birmingham, UK.
Her research interest includes the development of ultra-short pulsed lasers and amplifiers for biomedical applications, the study of medical diagnostic and treatment techniques using optogenetic tools, and the fabrication of fiber lasers with the use of carbon nanomaterials as saturable absorbers.
Ms. Galiakhmetova’s awards and honors include a grant of the Russian Science Foundation, Skoltech President’s Scholarship (Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia, 2020), EAS Postgraduate Research Studentships (Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2020), the Return to Research Grant in Optoelectronics 2022, Rank Prize.
