About
We’re pioneering innovation in the science and engineering of light
From its inception, the Photonics Center has empowered scholarly pioneers to lead our academic and educational programs and to conduct groundbreaking research in neurophotonics, metamaterials, imaging, nanophotonics, photonic materials, and biosensing. Today, we are a unique international resource for the development of advanced research and technologies in the area of healthcare and government applications.
Our leadership in the field is supported by state-of-the-art facilities
The Center is home to 26 faculty laboratories and four shared facilities including the Optoelectronic Processing Facility, the Precision Measurement Laboratory, the FIB/TEM Facility, and the MSE Core Facilities. These assets, combined with leading academic experts and a dedicated technical and administrative staff make the BU Photonics Center an extraordinary resource for students, faculty, and affiliated companies.
