Month: February 2021

I am enthusiastic to be part of the EOSAM 2021 Program Committee for the Thermal radiation and energy management Topical Meeting which (hopefully!) will be held in Rome 13-17 September 2021.

In collaboration with the experimental group at the Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials in Czech Republic, we demonstrate the use of scalable, thermal resistant and highly absorptive TiN nanocavities for quasi-2D heat confinement induced steam generation:

Solar steam generation on scalable ultrathin thermoplasmonic TiN nanocavity arrays

In collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Milan, we exploit hot carrier thermalization to generate an ~ps control of diffraction modes:

All-Optically Reconfigurable Plasmonic Metagrating for Ultrafast Diffraction Management

In this extensive review article we layout potential future directions across plasmonic and phononics:

Controlling Light, Heat, and Vibrations in Plasmonics and Phononics

Tegether with an excellent team of collaborators we put together a perspective on Plasmonic Catalysis, highlighting challenges and promises:

Challenges in Plasmonic Catalysis

In collaboration with ETH in Zurich, we recently published an overview of the future of opto-electronic memristors for Neuromorphic Computing:
