Welcome to the website of the Russell Emeritus Group
Following the statutory retirement of Philip Russell and the closure of his Division at MPL, the Russell Emeritus Group was formed in April 2021, and with limited resources has continued working on a few topics from the former Division's research. Please note that the Emeritus Group will close at the end of March 2024, thus no longer offering PhD or Masters projects, or postdoctoral positions.
The Russell Division focused on photonic crystal fibre science, and was one of the two original divisions of MPL, founded in January 2009. The Division was formerly (2005-2008) part of a Max Planck Research Group at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. At the time of its closure in March 2021, the Division had over 40 members (laboratory assistants, masters and doctorate students, post-doctoral researchers and visitors) from all over the world.
