Rate My Professor Bruce Wedding

Dr. Bruce Wedding serves as a senior lecturer in Applied Physics within the UniSA STEM division at Adelaide University, following the merger of the University of South Australia into the new institution. His career at the University of South Australia has centered on teaching and research in photonics and advanced sensing. Wedding delivers courses such as Applied Physics 3, Lasers, Optoelectronics and Applications, Nuclear Materials, Radiation, Processes and Policy, Engineering Physics N, and Applied Science Project, equipping students with foundational and specialized knowledge in physics and engineering applications. He has been affiliated with the School of Electrical and Information Engineering and contributes to the practical training of undergraduates in optical and laser technologies.

Wedding's research output includes peer-reviewed publications addressing laser applications, optical imaging, and atmospheric optics. Key works encompass 'Utilization of high-speed imaging for atmospheric scintillation mitigation' (Applied Optics, 2021), which investigates methods to counter smoke and atmospheric interference in laser target detection; 'Heat transfer simulation in laser irradiated retinal tissues' (Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2021), modeling bioheat transfer for ophthalmic laser therapies; 'Hybrid 99mTc-magnetite tracer for dual modality sentinel lymph node detection' (Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2018); 'Clinical relevance of novel imaging technologies for sentinel lymph node mapping' (Biotechnology Advances, 2014); 'Characterization of PVD Lumogen films for wavelength conversion applications' (Proceedings of SPIE, 2005); and 'Optical Traps as Force Transducers: The Effects of Focusing Geometry on Trapping Efficiency and Straining' (Langmuir, 1999). Additional contributions cover polarized laser detection in smoky environments (2023) and estimation of dust particle sizes from satellite observations. He maintains an active profile on Google Scholar with focus areas in photonics and advanced sensing, and holds ORCID 0000-0002-5185-5100. Wedding has participated in the Australian Institute of Physics South Australia branch activities, including committee roles.
