OUR SPEAKERS
 DR. ADAM WAX, Theodore Kennedy Associate Professor and Director of Master's Studies at Duke University
Dr. Wax's research interests include optical spectroscopy for early cancer detection, novel microscopy and interferometry techniques. In his presentation, Dr. Wax will provide insight into topics gaining momentum in the field of biomedical optics.
Dr. Wax won the Capers and Marion McDonald Award for Excellence in Teaching and Research, Duke University, Pratt School of Engineering; and the Chandran Research Award, Duke University. He has received a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Early CAREER Award, and a W. H. Coulter Foundation Early Career Award, among other distinctions. He is the author of numerous publications. In 2010, he was named as Fellow of OSA and SPIE.
 VLADIMIR M. SHALAEV, Scientific Director for Nanophotonics, Birck Nanotechnology Center and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University
Professor Shalaev specializes in nanophotonics, plasmonics and optical metamaterials. He will discuss recent progress in developing optical metamaterials, which allow for unprecedented control over the flow of light at both the nano- and macroscopic scales, as well as recent progress in developing tunable and active metamaterials, nanolasers, and loss-free negative-index metamaterials, among others.
Shalaev received several awards for his research in the field of nanophotonics and metamaterials, including the Max Born Award of the Optical Society of America for his pioneering contributions to the field of optical metamaterials and the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, APS, SPIE, and OSA. Prof. Shalaev authored three books, 21 book chapters and over 300 research publications. |
