We focus on intelligent nanophotonics, which merges artificial intelligence and photonics at the nanoscale. Our mission:
1) improve fundamental understanding and control of light-matter interactions in complex nanosystems,
2) develop intelligent optical materials, devices and tools to advance knowledge and applications in targeted fields,
3) promote interdisciplinary trainings for students to understand and contribute to the multiple fields of science, engineering and medicine.
We focus on three coordinated research areas -Digital Nanomanufacturing, Space Life Detection, and Global Health and Medicine - which are supported by NIH, NSF, ONR, NASA, ARO, Beckman Foundation, 3M, and Exxonmobil.
