SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Mu Wang
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mu Wang\nNational Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures\, School of Physics\, and Collaborative Innovation\nCenter of Advanced Microstructures\, Nanjing University\, Nanjing 210093\, China \nManipulating Light with Optical Metasurfaces: from Classical to Quantum\nAbstract – This talk focuses on the interaction of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials and manipulating the polarization state of light\, which are essential for on-chip photonics and quantum information processing. By designing a metasurface based on geometrical-scaling-induced phase modulations\, the transformation and distribution of different polarization-entangled photon pairs have been realized with multichannel dielectric metasurfaces. This is a significant development in applying metasurface to quantum networks. We also show a strategy to overcome the fundamental limit of polarization multiplexing capacity of metasurfaces by introducing the engineered noise to the precise solution of Jones matrix elements\, where the conventional restriction of polarization multiplexing roots from the dimension constraint of the Jones matrix. This approach implies a new paradigm for high-capacity optical display\, information encryption\, and data storage. As a practical application\, we also present a metasurface that achieves a matte appearance in reflection while offering broadband\, perfect transmission\, showcasing its potential for various optical technologies. \nReferences:\nY.J.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yang Zhao & Yun-Sheng Chen
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Yang Zhao\nUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign \nImaging\, Sensing\, and Wearable Devices Using Nanophotonic Platforms\nAbstract – Personalized health emphasizes prevention and early diagnosis over solely tailoring therapies. My lab’s nanophotonic approaches center on developing precision tools to detect biomarkers\, imaging molecular interaction functions\, and designing sustainable wearable devices. In this talk\, I will highlight two research areas: ultrafast optical force nanoscopy and wearable metasurface sensors. I will introduce Decoupled Optical Force Nanoscopy (Dofn)\, a technique that addresses current limits in nanoparticle thermal profiling by enabling nanosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolutions. Dofn also offers a non-invasive way to identify cell membrane molecules without purification. Next\, I will discuss wearable metasurface-enabled sensors for wireless charging of implanted devices. Tested on live animals\, this technology demonstrates a tenfold power enhancement\, enabling long-term tracking of brain activity. These innovations mark significant strides in wearable sensing for personalized health. \nBio – Yang Zhao is an assistant professor at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She is affiliated with the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory and holds courtesy appointments in Bioengineering\, Institute for Genomic Biology\, and Translational Sciences of Carle Illinois College of Medicine at UIUC. Prof. Zhao received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin\, where she was advised by Professor Andrea Alù. Following her Ph.D.\, she served as a postdoctoral research fellow in Materials Science at Stanford University\, under the guidance of Professor Jennifer A. Dionne. Prof. Zhao directs the BioNanophotonics Lab at UIUC. Her research group focuses on studying nanoscale forces and fields by developing optical and nanophotonic tools\, which are instrumental for imaging\, sensing\, and actuation across subwavelength to wavelength scales. Prof. Zhao is a recipient of the 2023 Engineering Council Outstanding Advisor Award\, the 2024 Dean’s Award for Early Innovation\, and the 2024 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Research. \n\nDr. Yun-Sheng Chen\nUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign \nSuper-resolution PAUL Brain Imaging for Guiding Blood-brain Barrier Modulation\nAbstract – The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a formidable obstacle in delivering therapeutic agents to the brain\, blocking nearly all potential treatments for neurological diseases. Focused ultrasound (FUS) offers an exciting solution by temporarily opening the BBB to allow targeted drug delivery. Yet\, understanding the safety and effectiveness of this approach remains a major challenge. Traditional brain imaging modalities fall short—they either lack the resolution or the sensitivity needed to monitor subtle changes in BBB permeability and the resulting hemodynamic responses. In this talk\, I’ll introduce a groundbreaking multimodality imaging approach: PAUL imaging. By integrating the molecular sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging with the microvascular detail of super-resolution ultrasound localization—and further enhancing it with deep learning—PAUL imaging delivers fast\, high-resolution insights into BBB permeability and cerebral hemodynamics. This powerful platform provides a transformative tool for advancing brain-drug delivery and uncovering the biological impacts of BBB modulation\, opening new avenues in the treatment of neurological disorders. \nBio – Yun-Sheng Chen is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)\, where he leads the Multimodality Imaging Research Laboratory. Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin\, advised by Prof. Stanislav Emelianov\, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in the Radiology Department at Stanford University’s School of Medicine\, working with Prof. Sam Gambhir. Dr. Chen has been recognized with prestigious honors\, including the Google Faculty Research Award\, the Innovative Science Accelerator Award\, UIUC’s 2024 Dean’s Award for Innovation Impact\, and\, most recently\, the Stephen I. Katz Early-Stage Investigator Research Project Grant from the NIDDK. His research focuses on developing pioneering imaging technologies that integrate light and ultrasound for advanced diagnostics and therapeutics. His work\, published in leading journals such as Nature Nanotechnology\, Nature Biotechnology\, and PNAS\, spans impactful applications in molecular imaging\, neuronal stimulation\, and cancer diagnostics\, contributing to significant advancements in medical imaging and targeted treatment strategies.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Levent Sevgi (IEEE DL lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Levent Sevgi\n\nIEEE AP-S Former DL – DLPC Chair\nITU – Istanbul Technical University (Emeritus) \nFrom Engineering Elecromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering:Teaching/Training Next Generations\nAbstract – The role of Electromagnetic (EM) fields in our lives has been increasing. Communication\, remote sensing\, integrated command/ control/surveillance systems\, intelligent transportation systems\, medicine\, environment\, education\, marketing\, and defense are only a few areas where EM fields have critical importance. We have witnessed the transformation from Engineering Electromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering for the last few decades after being surrounded by EM waves everywhere. Among many others\, EM engineering deals with broad range of problems from antenna design to EM scattering\, indoor–outdoor radiowave propagation to wireless communication\, radar systems to integrated surveillance\, subsurface imaging to novel materials\, EM compatibility to nano-systems\, electroacoustic devices to electro-optical systems\, etc. The range of the devices we use in our daily life has extended from DC up to Terahertz frequencies. We have had both large-scale (kilometers-wide) and small-scale (nanometers) EM systems. A large portion of these systems are broadband and digital and must operate in close proximity that results in severe EM interference problems. Engineers must take EM issues into account from the earliest possible design stages. This necessitates establishing an intelligent balance between strong mathematical background (theory)\, engineering experience (practice)\, and modeling and numerical computations (simulation). \nThis Distinguished/keynote lecture aims at a broad-brush look at current complex EM problems as well as certain teaching / training challenges that confront wave-oriented EM engineering in the 21st century\, in a complex computer and technology-driven world with rapidly shifting societal and technical priorities. \nBio – Prof. Dr. Levent Sevgi is a Fellow of the IEEE (since 2009) and the recipient of IEEE APS Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award (2021).
