Our lab was recently awarded some Building a Changing World seed grant funding for “Sensing of Household Ultrafine Particulate Matter Pollutants” from the University of Arizona.

Our lab has several presentations at the upcoming SPIE Optics + Photonics conference in late August 2020:

Andy Xiong: “High-speed lens-free holographic microscope for biomolecular sensing”

Weilin Liu: “Rigorous and fast computation of plasmonic particle-substrate interactions”

Jeffrey Melzer: “Automated 3D assembly of hundreds of building blocks using optical tweezers”

Euan McLeod: “Assembling nanoscale building blocks in 3D using optical tweezers”

Congratulations to Hui on her paper on THz metamaterials and to Jeffrey on his paper on 3D Nanophotonic device fabrication using discrete components.

Our lab’s sensing work was recently featured in the University of Arizona Alumni Association Magazine: Optics Solutions for High-Tech Healthcare  and the magazine NanoScientific: How Covid-19 Diagnostic Tests Work.
