Alexandra Boltasseva
Ron And Dotty Garvin Tonjes Distinguished Professor Of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Research Impact
Prof. Boltasseva’s team specializes in nano- and quantum photonics, plasmonics, optical metamaterials, optical materials and nanofabrication. The central theme of Boltasseva’s research is to find new ways for realization of nanophotonic devices – from material growth to advanced designs and device demonstrations. Prof. Boltasseva’s team aims at developing new platforms to unlock properties of nanophotonic structures in previously unavailable designs and wavelength regimes and to enable new generations of low-loss, tunable, reconfigurable, semiconductor-compatible devices for applications in on-chip circuitry, information processing, data recording/storage, sensing, medical imaging and therapy, energy conversion, and quantum information technologies.
