I enjoyed sharing my research on Friday night on the Open Science livestream hosted by The Meekins Lab / Open Science Presentations. Since there was no time limit, I got to be long-winded. If you’re interested, check out the recording here: youtu.be/VGjQ11r2bLo

After some considerable additional work and revisions, this preprint has been updated!

We are once again hiring at the Fowler School of Engineering! Chapman has been a great place to work, and in particular my colleagues in engineering are truly wonderful. Spread the word! apply.interfolio.com/44328/positions

This thread puts to words a feeling I’ve had pretty much since I started my faculty position that I haven’t been able to articulate. It’s nice to know that this feeling is not uncommon.

Chapman's GCI Postdoc Fellowship is a great opportunity and applications are open! This position mixes in teaching training along with the research training that is typically part of a #postdoc. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/23015

Very excited (and honestly mostly just relieved) that the first publication from my research group was accepted with minor revisions! It’s been a long journey to get this paper published, and although we have a little more work to do, the end is in sight.

Our work on exploring the use of inverse design for plasmonic devices with some unique requirements is finally out! I'm very proud of all the students who worked on this paper with me and their perseverance in seeing it through the revisions process. doi.org/10.1117/1.JNP.…

New preprint from my lab! Not as exciting as other recent preprints, but I’m proud of the undergrad, Michael, who led this work. arxiv.org/abs/2308.01893

I'm going to be at Frontiers in Optics in Tacoma starting tomorrow! My undergraduate student Kyle is presenting a poster tomorrow afternoon on some cool work with optical nonlinearities in ITO. Hoping to see some familiar faces and maybe meet some new photonics folks!

Snuck in a photo with Kyle during the poster session at FIO. I’m super proud of the work he’s done.

We are once again hiring at Chapman! I have had a great experience at Chapman and would be happy to share my thoughts with you if you are curious about what it’s like. Come join us as we continue to build our engineering school! apply.interfolio.com/133097 apply.interfolio.com/133080

We have an update to this preprint which makes it much more clear! arxiv.org/abs/2308.01893

Chapman is once again looking for postdoctoral research fellows for the Grand Challenges Initiative program! The full job description can be found here: apply.interfolio.com/136140 If you are interested in working with me, please send me a message or an email!

Glad that the "official" version of this paper has finally been published! doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.…

We have a preprint up on three-wave mixing in an ENZ material without phase matching! My undergraduate student Kyle Wynne led this effort and will be presenting this work tomorrow (Jan. 30) at #PhotonicsWest. Go see his talk at 3:10pm in room 210! doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

📢Recently published: Three-wave mixing experiments in indium–tin–oxide thin-films with no phase matching Read the open access paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… Congrats to the authors Kyle Wynne, Marjan Bazian and Mark Harrison at Chapman University

Very proud of my student Max who gave a great talk at Chapman’s student scholar symposium this afternoon. He and the other student working on this project (also Max) have done great work and I hope to share more of their results soon.
