Scalable Nanofabrication for Functional Nanophotonics
This talk will describe how metal nanoparticle lattices can function as a powerful platform for smart nanoscale materials. Advances in the design and fabrication of plasmonic lattices based on surface engineering and their expanded applications, from nanoscale lasing to strong coupling to photo-electrocatalysis to auto-regulatory materials, will be discussed.
About Teri W. Odom
Teri W. Odom is the Joan Husting Madden and William H. Madden, Jr. Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Chemistry Department at Northwestern University. She is an expert in designing structured nanoscale materials that exhibit extraordinary size and shape-dependent optical and physical properties. Odom has pioneered a suite of multi-scale nanofabrication tools that have resulted in plasmon-based nanoscale lasers that exhibit tunable color, flat optics that can manipulate light at the nanoscale, and hierarchical substrates that show controlled wetting and super-hydrophobicity.
Odom is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of Optica, the American Physical Society (APS), the Materials Research Society (MRS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). Selected honors and awards include the RSC Centenary Prize; the ACS National Award in Surface Science; a Research Corporation TREE Award; a U.S. Department of Defense Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship; a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship at Harvard University; an NIH Director’s Pioneer Award; the MRS Outstanding Young Investigator Award; the National Fresenius Award from Phi Lambda Upsilon and the ACS; an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship; and a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering.
Odom was the founding Chair of the Noble Metal Nanoparticles Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and founding Vice-Chair of the GRC on Lasers in Micro, Nano, and Bio Systems. She was an inaugural Associate Editor for Chemical Science and founding Executive Editor of ACS Photonics. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Nano Letters.
