Photonics Initiative Seminar: Guancong Ma

Non-Abelian Braiding with Sound and Light Abstract – Many physics laws and mathematical rules are insensitive to order. For example, the addition of numbers disregards the sequence order, e.g., 1+2+3=3+1+2.

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Jonathan Pelliciari

Co-sponsored with CCNY. Using Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering to study quantum materials Abstract – Modern light sources like the NSLS-II at Brookhaven National Lab deliver bright tunable photons in a wide range

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yakir Hadad

Exact formulation of the mutual particle-cavity dynamics and its use for the study of loss threshold phenomenon under magnetization Abstract – Light-matter interaction plays a pivotal role in pushing forward

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Giovanni Toso and Piero Angeletti

Multi-Beam Antennas (MBAs) and Beam-Forming Networks (BFNs) Abstract - Distinguished Speakers Giovanni Toso and Piero Angeletti from European Space Agency, Netherlands will present the state of the art and the on-going

Communicating Your Science Series Open House Event

Join us for our rescheduled kickoff of our 2024/25 Communicating Your Science Series, which helps CUNY STEM students, postdocs and faculty bone up on their science communications skills. Sponsored by

Thesis Defense: Shixiong Yin

Enhanced Light-Matter Interactions in Complex Photonic Systems Mentor: Andrea Alù Abstract Interactions between light and matter are fundamental to breakthroughs in lasers, sensing, imaging, spectroscopy, energy harvesting, and quantum information

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Bing Cheng

Terahertz probes of quantum matter: from pairing symmetry to high harmonics Quantum materials often harbor emergent orders and phases that reveal themselves at low-energy scales, around 1 to 10 meV.

Photonics Initiative Seminar: David Burghoff

Nonlinear Photonics in the Mid-Infrared and Terahertz Abstract – Optical sensing at long wavelengths presents significant opportunities and significant challenges. The longwave infrared and terahertz ranges are renowned for their

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Mu Wang

Manipulating Light with Optical Metasurfaces: from Classical to Quantum Mu Wang National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, School of Physics, and Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Microstructures, Nanjing University, Nanjing

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yang Zhao & Yun-Sheng Chen

Imaging, Sensing, and Wearable Devices Using Nanophotonic Platforms Abstract – Personalized health emphasizes prevention and early diagnosis over solely tailoring therapies. My lab's nanophotonic approaches center on developing precision tools

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Levent Sevgi (IEEE DL lecture)

Levent Sevgi IEEE AP-S Former DL – DLPC Chair ITU - Istanbul Technical University (Emeritus) From Engineering Elecromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering:Teaching/Training Next Generations Abstract - The role of Electromagnetic (EM)
