Patrick Rufangura is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Electrical and Data Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and IT, University of Technology Sydney. His research focuses on electromagnetic simulations, nanofabrication and IR characterization of graphene and silicon carbide-based metasurfaces for mid-infrared nanophotonics. He completed his BSc degree in Applied Physics from the University of Rwanda in 2011 and a master’s degree in sustainable environment and energy systems focusing on the design and characterization of wideband metamaterial absorbers for solar energy applications at the Middle East Technical University in 2015. He subsequently completed his PhD in Electrical and Data Engineering from the University of Technology Sydney in 2022, where he developed a model for a fundamental study of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide on silicon for mid-infrared nanophotonics. Currently, He is working on graphene/SiC-based narrowband thermal emitters and transmission filters for MIR applications.
