Anna Swan
Professor Swan’s research interests include low dimensional material properties, strain engineering electronic properties of 2D materials, and optical spectroscopy of 2D materials.
Malvin Teich
Professor Teich’s research interests include quantum photonics, neural coding, and wavelet analysis of fractal biological signals.
Lei Tian
The Tian group develops next-generation imaging systems that synergistically combine optics and computations. These computational imaging systems can overcome physical limitations and achieve novel capabilities that one could not with traditional imaging methods. The core of our work is the joint design of the physical layer (optical components, sensors, and devices) and the computational layer […]
Barry Unger
An accomplished expert on high technology and venture capital businesses, Dr. Unger has founded and participated in numerous companies, including Kurzweil Computer Products, Inc., which became Xerox Imaging Systems. He is a member of Boston University’s Faculty of Photonics, and cofounder and chair emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Enterprise Forum. Unger served in […]
Selim Ünlü
Research in Optical Characterization and Nanophotonics (OCN) laboratory focuses on developing and applying advanced optical characterization techniques to the study of solid-state and biological phenomena at the nanoscale. Under the direction of Professor Ünlü, we have an interdisciplinary group of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and visitors including guest faculty, students, and often high school […]
Brian Walsh
Professor Walsh’s research interests include space and plasma dynamics in planetary space environments. Of particular interest are the plasma interactions in the near-Earth environment and the coupling of energy from the sun into Earth’s magnetic system. As an experimentalist, Dr. Walsh is involved in a number of ongoing NASA spacecraft missions.
Tianyu Wang
The Wang research group is interested in studying different forms of information processing that can plausibly exist in natural and artificial systems. For example, by re-examining the connection between photonics and computing, they are able to gain insights on how to engineer better computing, sensing, and imaging systems that maximally extracts the computing power intrinsically […]
Alice White
With over 125 publications and 7 patents issued/pending, she is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the IEEE Photonics Society, and the Optical Society of America. She is also conducting research as part of CELL-MET, a multi-institutional National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center in Cellular Metamaterials (EEC-1647837). CELL-MET aims to grow functional and clinically […]
John White
Professor White’s laboratory uses engineering approaches to understand how information is processed in the brain, with the goal of exploiting these findings to improve the human condition.
Chen Yang
The Yang Research Group’s mission is in developing new nanomaterials with functionality gained from low dimensionality, structural and compositional complexity, and novel optical and electrical properties and for great societal impact. We adopt a “Design and Develop” strategy where we design the new nanostructures based on unique understanding gained through experiments and theories for the […]
