Biography

Yuliya Semenova is a graduate of Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine of 1992. She received her PhD Degree in Physics of Liquid Crystals from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in 1999. Between 1997 and 2001 she worked as a researcher at the faculty of Electrophysics at the Lviv Polytechnic National University. Since 2001 she has been with the School of Electronic and Communications Engineering at the Dublin Institute of Technology. She is a lecturer and senior researcher in the DIT’s Photonics Research Center. Her research interests include photonics, fiber optic sensing and optics of liquid crystals. She has published over 180 journal and conference papers.

Research Interest

Her research is focused on the area of photonics. Her specific areas of interest are:
• physics and applications of liquid crystals in photonics;
• optical sensing;
• fast wavelength measurement based on bend loss in optical fibres and interrogation of
signals from fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors;
• investigation of Whispering Gallery mode effects in microfibre based resonators for
chemical and bio- sensing;
• smart sensors for engineering structures (SSES project, a MATERA-ERAnet Project);
• PCF based sensors for minimally invasive surgical instrument (SFI TIDA Project).
