molecular photonics and energy transport, optomechanical forces and
nonlinear optical phenomena. He has over 160 research papers and
also eight books to his name - including the widely adopted
textbook Lasers in Chemistry. The current focus of his research
group is on novel mechanisms for optical nanomanipulation and
switching, and light-harvesting in nanostructured molecular
systems. The group enjoys strong international links, particularly
with groups in Canada, Lithuania, New Zealand and the United
States. Andrews is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and
a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and he is the inaugural Chair
of the SPIE Nanotechnology Technical Group.
