I'm pleased to be presenting an invited talk on "Low-Cost, Compact Protein Biomarker Sensors Based on Lens-Free Microscopy" at the virtual conference this Wednesday, 9:30 AM Pacific Time. events.photonics.com/Schedule.aspx?…

Congrats to my postdoc Jeffrey Melzer for winning a BIO5 Postdoctoral Fellowship for his work on optical positioning and linking (OPAL) using optical tweezers!

Good day for our group yesterday at #PhotonicsWest, with 4 talks spanning nanostructure modeling, 3D nanofabrication, and lens-free microscopy.

We're looking for a new postdoc in photonic chemical sensors. If you know of someone with expertise in micro/nano-photonics, optical tweezers, coupled mode theory, surface functionalization, LabVIEW, and/or COMSOL, they can apply at: arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Happy to share our latest work on frequency comb generation in water #OSA_OpEx opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf…

Excited to be presenting some of my group's research on "Assembling complex photonic devices from micro- and nano-scale colloidal building blocks" at iCANX tomorrow. ican-x.com/talks

Glad to see our supplementary cover out. Thanks to Ella Marushchenko ACS for Authors #MyACSCover We report part-per-trillion trace selective gas detection. Our research aims at detecting chemical threats early and afar to maintain our world's beauty, tranquility, and peace

We have combined lensfree holographic microscopy, microfluidics, an agglutination assay, and #machinelearning to create a #covid sensor that is more sensitive that rapid antigen tests and faster than PCR tests. dx.doi.org/10.1039/D2LC00…

Congratulations to my MD/PhD student, Colin Potter, for winning a 2023-2024 ARCS Scholar Award from the ARCS Foundation Inc.!

Congratulations to Shriniketh Sreevatsan from our lab for winning an Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship! SPIE spie.org/membership/stu…

Excited to share our new work on using the discrete dipole approximation to rapidly and accurately model metasurface elements, just published in Nanophotonics . doi.org/10.1515/nanoph…

Our work on ultra-high-Q free space coupling to microtoroid optical resonators has been published in LightSciAppl. nature.com/articles/s4137… We thank Defense Threat Reduction Agency for their generous support.

Proud to be a part of this paper!

Our paper entitled "Ultra-high-Q free-space coupling to microtoroid resonators (nature.com/articles/s4137………) was selected by LightSciAppl as the Top Downloaded Paper in April 2024.
