SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Michele Cotrufo\, The City University of New York
DESCRIPTION:Title – Nanophotonic Engineering: Extreme Control of Light using Metamaterials and Nonlinearities \nAbstract – Nanophotonic devices can enable unprecedented control over the flow of light\, and they hold a great potential for both fundamental studies and next-generation quantum and classical computers\, low-power optoelectronics\, and free-space applications. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of our recent efforts on engineering integrated photonic devices and free-space metasurfaces to enable linear and nonlinear manipulation of classical and quantum light. In particular\, I will describe several approaches to achieve advanced functionalities such as light isolation and trapping\, highly dispersive reflectors for augmented reality displays\, and analog computation. \nI will first focus on our recent works on nonlinearity-based nonreciprocity\, a recipe to obtain nonreciprocal wave propagation that is appealing due to its bias-free operation and ease of fabrication. I will describe the fundamental physics underlying these phenomena\, its drawbacks and opportunities for wave engineering\, and then discuss our experimental results in silicon photonics and radiofrequency circuits. I will then discuss how radiation trapping and release and nonlinear control of the quality factor can be obtained by combining exotic states of light\, such as bound states in the continuum (BICs)\, with quantum or classical nonlinearities. I will show how we implemented these effects in vastly different wave-like frameworks\, such as single-photon BICs in coupled cavity-atom systems and RF circuits loaded with nonlinear elements. \nIn the second part\, the focus will shift from integrated systems to free-space metasurfaces – planarized\, patterned devices with thickness smaller than or comparable to the operational wavelength. I will discuss how local and nonlocal alldielectric metasurfaces can be used to achieve different functionalities in the visible and near-infrared\, such as focusing\, tailored angle- and frequency-dependent mirrors for AR/VR applications\, and analog computation. \nI will conclude my talk by providing an outlook on promising future research directions\, such as using free-space metasurfaces\, possibly combined with nonlinearities and time-modulation\, to create and manipulate quantum states. \nBio – Dr. Michele Cotrufo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Photonics Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center\, in New York City. He received a BS degree and MS degree in Physics from University of Bari\, Italy (2010) and University of Padova\, Italy (2012)\, respectively. He then joined the Department of Applied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology\, Netherlands\, as a doctoral student\, where he investigated novel interaction mechanisms in nanophotonics and hybrid optomechanical systems. After graduating in 2017\, he performed postdoctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the co-author of over 25 peer-reviewed journal papers. His current research interests span over a broad range of areas\, including nonlinear phenomena in classical and quantum electromagnetic systems\, nonreciprocal wave propagation\, spontaneous emission control with plasmonic and dielectric metamaterials\, and optical metasurfaces. In 2018\, he was awarded a two-year Rubicon fellowship from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nDiana Strickland \nPhotonics Initiative \ndstrickland@gc.cuny.edu \nZoom Access>>> \nMeeting ID: 815 4701 8626 \nPasscode: 028706

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Yuzhe Xiao\, University of Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 23rd at 10:30am for a one-hour talk from Yuzhe Xiao\, University of Wisconsin- Madison. \nTitle – Thermal-radiation engineering: innovations and opportunities \nAbstract – Every hot object emits electromagnetic radiation\, which is called thermal radiation or thermal emission. Thermal radiation is a ubiquitous phenomenon\, with examples including the light emitting from the sun or from an incandescent lightbulb. Even though thermal radiation has been well-known from the century-old Planck’s law\, recent applications of thermal radiation in energy harvesting\, radiative cooling\, and sensing have led to a renewed research interest of this topic. This talk aims to focus on four aspects of thermal radiation. \nFirst\, I will talk about the surprisingly nontrivial measurement of thermal radiation and describe our effort to achieve precision measurement of thermal radiation. Based on this measurement capability\, then I will introduce depth thermography\, a new metrology method that can measure the temperature distribution of an object as a function of depth. Further\, I will talk about Planck spectroscopy\, a spectroscopic technique that does not require wavelength-selective components such as prisms\, gratings\, or interferometers—instead using the temperature dependence of Planck’s law of thermal radiation.  \nThe last part of my talk will cover the manipulation of thermal radiation\, where I will show nano-second modulation of thermal radiation via modulated emissivity\, with a speed much faster than the thermal time constant of the emitter. This talk will conclude with a discussion of future research opportunities of thermal-radiation engineering with quantum effects and strong nonlinear light-matter interaction. \nBio – Dr. Yuzhe Xiao is an assistant scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester and was then a postdoc fellow at the University of California-San Diego. He has authored about 40 publications in the fields of thermal radiation\, nonlinear optics\, and quantum plasmonics. Dr. Xiao is the recipient of the WARE Innovation Award Finalist (2021\, UW-Madison)\, the Agnes M. and George Messersmith Fellowship (2013\, University of Rochester)\, and the Best Student Presentation Award at the Integrated Photonics Research Conference (2012\, OSA). \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nDiana Strickland \nPhotonics Initiative \ndstrickland@gc.cuny.edu \nZoom Access>>> \nMeeting ID: 820 0905 8676 \nPasscode: 375990

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rama Ranganathan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-hour talk presented by Professor Rama Ranganathan\, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology\, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at The University of Chicago\, Chicago\, IL titled: \n Evolutionary Principles of Protein Structure and Function  \nABSTRACT Proteins can fold spontaneously into well-defined three-dimensional structures and can carry out complex biochemical reactions such as binding\, catalysis\, and long-range information transfer. The precision required for these properties is achieved while also preserving evolvability – the capacity to adapt in response to fluctuating selection pressures in the environment. What is the basic design of proteins that supports all of these properties? Recent work suggests that rather than direct physical analysis\, statistical analysis of genome sequences provides a powerful and general approach to this problem. Using different methodologies\, this approach has revealed both direct structural contacts as well as collective functional modes within protein structures. In this talk\, I will present new approaches for probing the physical mechanisms implied by the evolution-based models and present ideas for how such mechanisms are constrained by the dynamics of the evolutionary process. This work represents a step towards a theory for the physics of proteins that is consistent with evolution. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented via Zoom\, the broadcast can also be viewed in the ASRC 5th Floor Data Visualization Room\, #5.210. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Marta Filizola
DESCRIPTION:Marta Filizola\, Professor of Pharmacological Sciences and Neuroscience\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai\, New York\, NY\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \nModern Drug Discovery Using Enhanced Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Artificial Intelligence. \nABSTRACT By contributing distinctive atomic-level understanding of how drugs bind and activate their target receptors\, enhanced molecular dynamics simulations leveraged by artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods are playing a pivotal role in shedding light on the complexities of receptor pharmacology\, thus efficiently guiding the design of improved therapeutics. The opportunities offered by emergent technologies such as AI-based statistical machine learning and deep learning methods are unprecedented and finally made possible by access to ultra-large collections of compounds\, large amounts of data generated by increasingly more accurate biochemical and biophysical studies of complex biomedical systems\, as well as more powerful supercomputers and cloud computing. \nIn this presentation\, I will summarize recent efforts from my lab using various combinations of these technologies towards the discovery of safer therapeutics targeting the opioid receptors. Opioids continue to be gold standard medications for the treatment of moderate or severe pain\, but they usability is hindered by their wide spectrum of side effects\, including life-threatening respiratory depression and abuse liability. My lab has undertaken specific strategic directions to discover safer and yet efficacious opioid ligands\, and my presentation will provide an overview of our most recent accomplishments in this area. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcasted via Zoom. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Mischa Bonn\, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Photonics Initiative for a one-hour talk from Mischa Bonn\, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research\, Mainz\, Germany\, titled: \nUltrafast Terahertz Photoconductivity of New Materials \nAbstract – For novel functional electronic materials\, we need to characterize the electrical properties of novel materials\, in particular electrical transport\, defined by electron and hole mobility. Classical approaches such as field-effect transistors and four-point probe measurements of mobility often pose challenges: crystalline regions in the material are typically smaller than the distance between electrodes. Then one needs to distinguish between transport within crystalline regions\, and transport between these regions. In my presentation\, I will show how noninvasive optical Terahertz spectroscopy methods can provide fundamental insights into new materials and their conductive properties. \nBio – Bonn serves as Max Planck Director and professor by special appointment in Amsterdam (Physics) and Mainz (Chemistry). The overall aim of Bonn’s research is to reveal the structure and dynamics of molecules and intermolecular interactions at interfaces\, as well as transport of molecules and charge across those interfaces. This is of fundamental interest\, but also highly relevant for environmental processes (e.g. chemical conversion on ice surfaces)\, biophysics (e.g. water\, lipids and proteins at membrane interfaces) and energy conversion (e.g. photovoltaics\, photocatalytic water splitting at interfaces and charge carrier dynamics across semiconductor nanostructures). To achieve these goals\, Bonn develops and implements state-of-the-art\, laser-based spectroscopic tools. \nThis one-hour seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcasted via Zoom. \nTo access the zoom>>> \nMeeting ID: 834 5578 0079 \nPasscode: 070776 \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Daniel Rosenbaum
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Daniel Rosenbaum from the Department of Biophysics\, UT Southwestern Medical Center\, Dallas\, TX\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \nMolecular Mechanism of Cholesterol Homeostasis in Mammalian Cells. \nABSTRACT- The cholesterol-sensing protein Scap induces cholesterol synthesis by transporting membrane-bound sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus for proteolytic activation. We have used cryo-EM to elucidate structures of Scap alone and in complex with the ER retention protein Insig. These structures revealed different conformations of Scap\, with different arrangements of its transmembrane helices and luminal domain. We postulate that this conformational change halts Scap transport of SREBPs and inhibits cholesterol synthesis\, and we are currently working to understand the molecular mechanism of cholesterol binding and allosteric control of the Scap-Insig-SREBP complex. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcasted via Zoom. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Harel Weinstein
DESCRIPTION:Professor Harel Weinstein of the Physiology & Biophysics Department at Weill Cornell Medicine\, New York\, NY\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \nComputational biophysics illuminates the functional dynamics of molecular machines at the membrane. \nABSTRACT- Major advances in understanding mechanisms of cell physiology in health and disease rely on the ability to detect and interpret dynamic changes in macromolecular structure that are triggered in response to functional stimuli between the cell and its environment. The resulting information is central to practical applications including molecular engineering and the design of new therapies. With the development of ever more powerful experimental methods – crystallography\, NMR\, ultra-resolution microscopy and Cryo-EM – a veritable treasure of information at the required atomic resolution is available for this purpose. But the grand challenge addressed by computational simulation is to investigate the detailed dynamics of these systems under various conditions that determine their functional mechanisms. Our work takes advantage of the combination of structural and functional data to illuminate such mechanisms. Recent projects focus on mechanisms of molecular machines that (i)-Pierce and Fuse membranes (e.g.\, the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein)\, or (ii) Exchange lipids between membrane leaflets (e.g.\, the TMEM16 lipid scramblases\, or (iii) Transfer Signals and Substances across the cell membrane (e.g.\, GPCRs and Neurotransmitter Transporters). To perform their biological functions\, these molecular systems process and/or transmit a triggering signal to a distal function-determining site within the protein. This type of intramolecular “action at a distance” – termed allostery –is ubiquitous in biomolecular function\, but is rarely defined in structural detail and quantified. To extract this information from the necessarily very long Molecular Dynamics (MD) trajectories\, we use a variety of quantitative approaches such as the Information Theory-based NbIT framework we developed to discover the allosteric pathways underlying the dynamic functional mechanisms of complex proteins. This will be illustrated for neurotransmitter transporters. Signaling along such allosteric pathways revealed with NbIT\, involves conformational state-to-state transitions in response to triggers such as ligand binding. These are rare events in the dynamics of complex molecular machines described by the long MD simulations. To reveal such function-related transitions we developed a novel Rare Event Detection (RED) protocol which utilizes an unsupervised Machine Learning technique – named Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) that will be illustrated with application to yet another family of molecular machines – the GPCRs – to reveal the time-ordered specific ligand-determined functional mechanisms encoded in the MD trajectories \n  \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcasted via Zoom. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nLauren Gohara\nlgohara@ccny.cuny.edu\n(212) 650-8803

SUMMARY:CCNY Inaugural Harry Lustig Lecture: Arthur I. Miller
DESCRIPTION:Please join the CCNY Physics Department for a one- hour lecture from alumni\, Arthur I Miller. The topic of his lecture will be art-science-technology\, based on his recent book The Artist in the Machine: The World of AI-Powered Creativity. \nAIs are already creating works that we recognize as art. But does this make them truly artists? Can AIs possess the attributes of living beings even though they are alien life forms? If and when this is the case\, their intelligence will no longer be ‘artificial’ but as real as ours. In my talk I will focus on the exciting art\, literature and music already being created by artificial neural networks and consider the key issue of whether machines can be creative like us. \n  \nArthur I. Miller is a CCNY Physics graduate\, went on to MIT PhD.  After faculty positions at U of Massachusetts and Harvard\, he became in 1991 Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at UCL.  He is the author of a groundbreaking theory of creativity which applies to both humans and machines. He has written many critically acclaimed books\, including the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Einstein\, Picasso: Space\, Time\, and the Beauty that Causes Havoc; 137: Jung\, Pauli\, and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession; and The Artist in the Machine: The World of AI-Powered Creativity. \n____________________________________________________________ \nThe Harry Lustig Lecture is supported by the Harry Lustig Fund\, established 2020 in honor of Harry Lustig\, a 1948 CCNY Physics graduate who from 1964 as Dept Chair\, Dean of Science\, and Vice-President for Academic Affairs & Provost of CCNY helped transform CCNY from world-class teaching institution into a world-class research institution.  After retirement 1993\, he went on to be treasurer of American Physical Society and Acting Executive Secretary. \n  \nThis hybrid event will take place in the ASRC Auditorium at 4pm\, with drinks and food served beforehand\, at 3:30pm. \nPlease register here  for the event. For those unable to attend in person\, zoom link will be emailed. \nHosted by: \nVinod M. Menon \nProfessor & Chair of Physics \nCity College of New York \nPlease contact Shelby Truitt at asrc.event@gc.cuny.edu with further questions. \n

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Paulo Ferreira\, International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Please join us May 2nd for a one-hour talk from Paulo Ferreira\, International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory\, titled: \nSeeing Small: Revealing the Atomic Structure of Li-ion Battery LiMn2O4 Cathodes and 2D MoS2 Materials by Advanced Electron Microscopy \nAbstract – Aberration-Corrected TEM/STEM has emerged as powerful tool for the characterization of\nnanomaterials as it enables structural imaging at resolutions below 0.1 nanometers while performing\nchemical analysis at the atomic level. In this talk\, a brief overview of Aberration-Corrected\nTEM/STEM will be presented and related to the quest for investigating nanomaterials. Subsequently\,\ntwo examples that demonstrate the power of these techniques in providing scientific insight will be\ndiscussed. \nFirst\, the atomic structure of one of the cathode chemistries for Li-ion batteries – Li[Mn2]O4 – will be\npresented. This material is particularly appealing due to the moderate capacity and high rate\ncapabilities associated with its cubic spinel framework\, but it suffers from capacity loss\, attributed to\nthe dissolution of Mn to the electrolyte. In this work we use HAADF-STEM to show that a restructured\nsurface is formed in this material\, where a stable surface layer of Mn3O4\, followed by Li1+xMn2O4\nsubsurface with retention of bulk LiMn2O4 is formed. In addition\, by using differential phase contrast\n(DPC) STEM we were able to determine the Li\, Mn and O atomic positions\, thus providing a novel\ninsight into the migration of these species within the structure of LiMn2O4. \nIn the second part of the talk\, the atomic electrostatic configuration of the 2D material MoS2 and some\nof its point defects will be presented. The use of DPC-STEM allow us to observe not only the\nstructure of the materials at atomic level with greater sensitivity\, but also to obtain images\nproportional to the projected potential\, the projected electric field and the projected charge\ndistribution. In particular\, this talk will focus on the investigation of S mono- and divacancy defects in\nmonolayer MoS2\, the two most common point defects associated with the material. The results\nindicate a reduction of the experimental projected electric field at the single S vacancy and divacancy\nsites\, which have strong implications with respect to the properties of MoS2\, particularly in relation to\nthe forces experienced by adatoms on its surface. \nBio – Paulo Ferreira is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IST\,\nUniversity of Lisbon\, Portugal\, as well as the Head of the Advanced Electron Microscopy\, Imaging and\nSpectroscopy Center and the Leader of the Atomic Structure-Composition of Materials Group at the\nInternational Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL)\, Portugal. He is also an Adjunct Professor\, Robert &\nJane Mitchell Endowed Faculty Fellowship in Engineering in the Materials Science and Engineering\nProgram at the University of Texas at Austin\, USA.

SUMMARY:Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series- Teri W. Odom
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 3rd\, at 11am for the next speaker in our Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series as we hear from Dr. Odom in talk titled: \nShape Effects and Designer Nanoconstructs for Nanomedicine \nAbstract- Nanotechnology offers unique strategies for minimally invasive and localized approaches to diagnose and treat diseases. For example\, nanoparticles have been explored in a range of applications\, including as drug delivery vehicles\, imaging probes\, and therapeutic agents. Although increased therapeutic efficacy has been realized\, direct visualization of how engineered nanoparticles interact with specific organelles or cellular components has been limited. Such interactions will have implications for fundamentals in cancer biology as well as in the design of translational therapeutic agents. This talk will describe how drug-loaded gold nanostars can behave as optical probes to interrogate how therapeutic nanoconstructs interact with cells at the nanoscale. We will focus on model cancer cell systems that can be used to visualize how gold nanoconstructs target cells\, rotate\, and translate on the plasma membrane\, are endocytosed\, and are trafficked intracellularly. Critically\, differences in translational and rotational motion between spherical and star-shaped nanoconstructs indicate that the nanoparticle scaffold geometry affects how targeting ligands present and bind to cell-membrane receptors. That nanoparticle shape can preserve ligand activity of nanoconstructs in vitro will have important implications for engineering designer nanoconstructs for nanomedicine. \nBiography- Teri W. Odom is Joan Husting Madden and William H. Madden\, Jr. Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Chemistry Department at Northwestern University. She is an expert in designing structured nanoscale materials that exhibit extraordinary size and shape-dependent optical and physical properties. Odom has pioneered a suite of multi-scale nanofabrication tools that have resulted in plasmon-based nanoscale lasers that exhibit tunable color\, flat optics that can manipulate light at the nanoscale\, and hierarchical substrates that show controlled wetting and super-hydrophobicity. She has also invented a class of biological nanoconstructs that are facilitating unique insight into nanoparticle-cell interactions and that show superior imaging and therapeutic properties because of their gold nanostar shape. \nOdom is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) and a Fellow of the Materials Research Society (MRS)\, the American Chemical Society (ACS)\, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)\, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIBME)\, the American Physical Society (APS)\, and Optica [formerly the Optical Society of America (OSA)]. Select honors and awards include: the RSC Centenary Prize; the ACS National Award in Surface Science; a Research Corporation TREE Award; a U.S. Department of Defense Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship; a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship at Harvard University; an NIH Director’s Pioneer Award; the MRS Outstanding Young Investigator Award; the National Fresenius Award from Phi Lambda Upsilon and the ACS; an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship; and a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering. \nOdom was founding Chair of the Noble Metal Nanoparticles Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and founding Vice-Chair of the GRC on Lasers in Micro\, Nano\, Bio Systems. She was an inaugural Associate Editor for Chemical Science and founding Executive Editor of ACS Photonics. Currently\, Odom is Editor-in-Chief of Nano Letters. \n  \nThis one-hour seminar will take place in the ASRC auditorium\, and broadcast via Zoom. All registrants will receive instructions to obtain a Cleared4 Pass to enter the building.  \nTo register for this event>>> \nFor further questions about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nShelby Truitt \nstruitt@gc.cuny.edu

We aim to identify\, characterize and manipulate programs in and out of the neurons to achieve axon regrowth and behavioral recovery. Our latest work has revealed glial metabolism and neuronal mechanosensation as critical mediators of axon regeneration\, and potential therapeutic targets for treating neural injury. \nWei Min\, PhD\nProfessor of Chemistry\nDept of Chemistry & Dept of Biomedical Engineering\nKavli Institute for Brain Science\, Columbia University \nTowards Mapping Metabolic Tissue Atlas\nUnderstanding metabolism is of great significance to decipher various physiological and pathogenic processes. While great progress has been made to profile gene expression\, how to capture organ-\, tissue-\, and cell-type-specific metabolic profiles (i.e.\, metabolic tissue atlas) in mammalian systems is lagging behind. Here we will present a metabolic imaging technology by integrating advances in optical spectroscopy\, chemical biology and data science. This allows us to identify spatially-resolved metabolic signatures of brain and tumor\, tissue and cell-type specific metabolic profile in situ. Overall\, the integrated platform has great potential to map metabolic atlas ranging from cellular scale\, tissue-scale\, to organ-scale. \nFor info and questions\, please contact Dr. Ye He: yhe1@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Tingyi Gu\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one- hour talk from Tingyi Gu\, University of Delaware\, on June 14th\, at 12pm titled: \n Embedded meta-atoms in integrated photonics  \nAbstract – The advancement of nanotechnologies enables powerful control of photons by subwavelength structures. In recent years\, rapid advancement of metasurface and metamaterials reveal the potential of nanophotonics in the applications across disciplines\, from hyperspectral imaging to mathematical operations. One question emerges as: is metasurfaces’ applications limited in deterministic spatial/spectral information or it can play more powerful roles in machine learning and dealing with uncertainties. In this talk I will review recent works on this track and introduce integrated photonic metasurface components\, from miniaturized 4-f system to large-scale deep learning. With lithographically defined inter-layer alignment\, we demonstrate diffractive deep optical network on silicon photonic platform\, towards broadband spatial pattern classification and hyperspectral imaging. The high-throughput vector-by-matrix multiplications is enabled by 103 passive subwavelength phase shifters as weight elements. The integrated metasystem performs analogue optical computing tasks\, from simple fourier transformation [1] to complicated image classification [2]. In addition\, the symmetric of those embedded meta-atoms control the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian of the integrated photonic system and drive the system towards ‘exceptional point’. This presentation illustrates the design principle of the foundry compatible metasystem\, and its implementation of the non- Hermitian resonators\, low loss photonic mode converters\, differentiators\, and hyperspectral image classifiers. Active control strategies will also be covered\, by utilizing 2D materials [3] and phase change materials [4]. \nBio –Tingyi Gu’s research focuses on integrated photonic devices\, developing optical components with new materials for optical communication and sensing applications. She investigates the physics of silicon and chalcogenide-based hybrid nanophotonic devices\, and characterizes their potential for large-scale integration\, high speed on-chip signal processing and sensing applications. Her work studies nonconventional photonic and electronic properties of nanostructured materials built by different integration techniques and aims to achieve a good understanding of the nanostructured materials photonic functionalities and build a scalable integrated photonic system. She joined the ECE faculty of the University of Delaware in the fall of 2016. She received a B.S. with honors in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University. At Bell labs\, she worked on silicon photonic network-on-chip systems. She completed postdoctoral research in the Large-Scale Integrated Photonics research group at Hewlett Packard Labs in Palo Alto\, CA\, studying large-scale nonlinear photonic circuits. She also completed postdoctoral work at Princeton University as a PRISM fellow\, studying solution processed chalcogenide materials. \nReferences: \n[1] Z. Wang\, T. Li\, A. Soman\, D. Mao\, T.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Qitong Li\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Photonics Initiative for a one-hour talk from Qitong Li\, titled: \nImproved Light-Field Control and Light-Matter Interaction via Optically Resonant Nanostructures for Device Applications \nAbstract – The Starting from the 1970s\, great efforts have been made to miniaturize bulky optical devices. This progress accelerated significantly over the last decade due to the emerging field of metasurfaces. These planar nanophotonic devices\, made from judiciously-engineered\, subwavelength-thick optical nano-resonators\, are capable of controlling the amplitude\, phase\, and spectral properties of light waves with subwavelength resolution\, and therefore have the potential to replace a wide range of bulk optical elements with flat optics. Given the dimension of these flat optical elements becomes compatible with on-chip electronics\, we now foresee an unprecedented opportunity to boost the performance and design novel functionalities for optoelectronic devices via its smart integration with metasurface optical elements. In this talk\, I will discuss specifically how to leverage the emergent properties of optically resonant nano-structures to achieve the improved control over the emission\, propagation\, and absorption of the light-fields at the nano[1]scale for various device applications\, such as photodetectors\, reflective displays\, and optical modulators. \nI will first talk about the radiative nature of Mie-type optical resonances and how it leads to novel optical resonances in a cluster of nano-resonators beyond the chemical bonding model [1]. I will exemplify how this new optical resonance arising from the radiative coupling between arrayed silicon nanowires can be harnessed to remove reflections from dielectric interfaces\, while affording spectro-polarimetric detection by extracting resonance-enhanced photocurrents in silicon nanowires [2]. The demonstrated transparent photodetector concept opens up promising platforms for transparent substrates as the base for opto[1]electronic devices and in situ optical measurement systems. \nNext\, I will show that the above concept can be extended to further illustrate why metasurface optofluidics\, which is comprised of dense arrays of strongly scattering silicon nano-resonators in automatically controlled microfluidic channels\, could become the new “ink” in transparent electronic ink-displays [3]. The silicon nano[1]resonator arrays here function as a metasurface mirror that can provide on-demand resonant electric and magnetic surface currents at optical frequencies. Thanks to the radiative-coupling nature in arrayed silicon nano-resonators\, dielectric screening can be used to tune the resonant frequencies and optical quality factors of these surface currents very efficiently\, leading to the intensity and spectral tuning of metasurface[1]color-pixels as well as on-demand optical elements. \nFinally\, I will talk about how to use a silver metasurface top gating pad in a metal-oxide-semiconductor configuration to boost the light-exciton interaction in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers. Specifically\, I will discuss the strategy to tailor the dispersions and the leakage of the surface plasmon polaritons supported by the silver metasurface pad\, and how this strong near-field enhancement can amplify the radiative decay rate of excitons by one order of magnitude. As a result\, we demonstrate an very efficient monolayer semiconductor (WS2) free-space optical modulator at room temperature\, experimentally enabling 10% absolute reflection modulation and 3dB modulation on/off ratio\, improving the reflection modulation effect by twenty times as compared with a suspended monolayer of WS2 [4]. We further extend the concept from reflection modulation to dynamic light-field control by designing a blazed silver metasurface grating as the gating pad\, where the first order diffraction efficiency of the reflected beam is electrically modulated. The successful integration of nanophotonics with monolayer semiconductor optoelectronic devices paves the way towards multi-functional and ultra-compact hybrid low-dimensional meta-devices. \n  \nReferences: [1] Qitong Li\, Tong Wu\, Jorik van de Groep\, Philippe Lalanne\, and Mark L.
