Anastasiia Zalogina is a Chancellor’s Research Fellow in photonics and quantum materials at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Her work focuses on the design, development, and nanofabrication of semiconductor and two-dimensional materials hosting single quantum emitters, with applications in integrated photonic circuits and quantum technologies. She has particular expertise in resonators and cavities for emission enhancement, as well as waveguides and metasurfaces for on-chip light manipulation. Anastasiia began her research career at the University of Southampton, fabricating perovskite solar cells, before working on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) at Tomsk Polytechnic University. She then joined ITMO University, where she developed nanoantennas and resonators to enhance the photoluminescence of nanodiamonds with nitrogen-vacancy centres. She completed her PhD in nonlinear optics at the Australian National University (ANU), designing, fabricating, and optically characterising advanced metasurfaces and photonic nanostructures. Following her doctorate, she worked at the University of Adelaide on beam shaping using orbital angular momentum elements. She is a recipient of the SPIE Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship (2021) and multiple international travel grants (PicoQuant Travel Grant 2017, Otago Optics Chapter Travel Grant 2019). Beyond her research, she is an active advocate for women in academia, having contributed to the Women in Physics group at ANU and participated in inSTEM conferences in Brisbane and Melbourne.
