Speaker's Bio:
Lukas Novotny is a Professor at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics where he heads the Nano-Optics research group. He holds joint appointments with the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Biomedical Engineering department. Novotny earned his MS and PhD degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland. From 1996-99 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, working on new schemes of single molecule detection. In 1999 he joined the faculty of the Institute of Optics where he started the first research program with focus on nano-optics. Novotny's general interest is in localized light-matter interactions with applications ranging from solid-state physics to biology. The projects are described in more detail under www.nano-optics.org. Novotny is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and is the author of Principles of Nano-Optics, published by Cambridge University Press.
