Due to the incompatibility of semiconductor micromachining with non-planar substrates, multifunctional optical metasurfaces have only been demonstrated in polymeric lenses. In this presentation, a new method of conformal electrochemical nanoimprinting is presented to directly micromachine a nature-inspired sharklet pattern onto a silicon lens as both an anti-reflective and anti-fouling surface.
About Bruno Azeredo
Dr. Bruno Azeredo is the Fulton Development Assistant Professor of Manufacturing Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Prior to joining ASU, Dr. Azeredo earned his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on scalable nanomaterial synthesis and exploits them in additive- and nano-manufacturing platforms and enable the production of multi-scale and multi-material structures. For his contributions to nano-enabled manufacturing processes, he is recipient of awards such as the 2018 Bisgrove Scholars Award from the Science Foundation Arizona, the 2020 National Science Foundation CAREER award, and the 2022 SME Sandra L. Bouckley Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award.
