POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (I held this title from June 2019 – August 2020)
The Nanophotonics Device Group
Department of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Texas-Arlington
This diverse research group is comprised of scientists, undergraduate and graduate students, and visiting international scholars. Currently, the group is focusing its research on theory and experiment of periodic nanostructures, nanolithography, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanoplasmonics, and optical bio- and chemical sensors. Much of the group’s research makes use of the innovative guided-mode resonance phenomenon (the guided modes of an optical waveguide can be excited and extracted by introducing a phase-matching element, such as a diffraction grating or prism). Applications range from biosensors for medicine and the environment to polarization control for TV and cell phone displays.
My role in the group involves: 1) editing the researchers’ articles on their experiments and findings, published in top-tier journals such as Optics Letters, IEEE Photonics Journal, Applied Physics, Advanced Optical Materials, Scientific Reports, Journal of Biosensors and Bioelectronics, and Journal of Nanophotonics, 2) overseeing accounts of the group’s awarded research grants from institutions such as the University of Delaware and the Army Research Lab, 3) administrative duties such as purchasing materials and supplies for the research laboratory, 4) bibliographic data entry for a large-scale project on guided-mode resonance (also called “leaky mode” resonance) dating from the 1960’s to the present.
