Alastair Paul Hibbins was born in Somerset, United Kingdom in 1975. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Exeter, United Kingdom in 1996, he undertook research into grating coupling of surface plasmon polaritons at visible and microwave frequencies during his Ph. D. Since then, he has studied the electromagnetic response of photonic, plasmonic and metamaterial structures as a member of the Electromagnetic Materials research group at Exeter. In 2004 he was awarded a prestigious EPSRC Advanced Fellowship and was appointed as a Lecturer in Physics/Electromagnetics/Photonics/Plasmonics at the University of Exeter in April 2007. His 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals (which include one in Science and seven in Physical Review Letters) have attracted more than 600 citations, and include studies of ultra-thin absorbers, enhanced transmission phenomena, plasmonic metamaterials and coupled resonator systems. He now leads a group Ph.D. students and researchers working on metamaterial-themed projects, funded on EPSRC projects and by industries including BAE Systems, QinetiQ and Dstl.
