Plasmonic materials and devices

Abstract:

 

Using surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited at the interface of metallic structures and the dielectric environment is a well-known approach for focusing or manipulating photons at the nanoscale for various applications. In the past decade, many plasmonic materials and devices have been designed, fabricated and used for near-field optics, high-resolution imaging, bio/chemical sensing, nanoscaled manipulation, clean energy, and medicine. In todays talk, I would like to overview recent work on plasmonics, especially for CMOS-compatible devices and their applications on life science.

       Dr. Chen received the B.S. (2004) and M.S. (2006) degrees in Chemical Engineering from Zhejiang University, China, the Ph.D degree (2011) in Chemistry from KU Leuven, Belgium. He did his Ph.D project at Prof. Gustaaf Borghs lab at imec during 2006-2011. In 2011, he received a Flanders Research Foundation (FWO) post-doctoral fellowship, becoming a senior researcher at Department of Life Science at imec and Department of Physics and Astronomy at KU Leuven. Currently, received a FWO travel grant, he is a visiting scholar at Prof. Stephen Quake and Prof. Steven Chus labs at Stanford University, US. His general interests focus on nanoscaled plasmonic and photonic devices for life science applications. 

       Dr. Chen is a member of the Belgium Society for Microscopy, the European Microscopy Society, the Biophysics Society, and the Optical Society of America. He received the 2010 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad, the 2011 imec Scientific Excellence Award, the 2011 BSM Thesis Award, and the 1st Prize of 2012 DSM Science & Technology Award. He has published 34 journal papers, 24 conference papers, and 6 patents.
