                            - International collaboration between Bangor University and RWTH Aachen(Germany). First author (Richter) was a PhD student co-supervised by Dr Maziar Nezhad and Prof. Jeremy Witzens. The intricate nanofabrication processes developed here resulted in one of very few instances worldwide for achieving integration of high-Q melted silica microtoroids with silicon waveguides in a standard silicon-on-insulator platform and laid the groundwork for Maziar Nezhad's successful EPSRC Fellowship grant (EP/S001425/1, Optically Actuated Microrobots £630K) and also contributed to Witzens' successful BMBF grant ( EFFICIENTlight, 3M euros).
