Huge congratulations to my Ph.D. advisor Josh Caldwell on being elected an Optica (Optica) Fellow for pioneering contributions to our understanding of crystal anisotropy, phonons, and electron-phonon coupling in IR nanophotonics!

Meet Joshua Caldwell, a newly elected #OpticaFellow from Vanderbilt University. Caldwell is honored for his leading contributions to approaching crystal anisotropy, photonics and electron-photon coupling for IR nanophotonics. Meet the 2024 Fellows: ow.ly/JrkK50Q2fHV

I am honored to be part of this cohort! Thanks to Beth Dickey, @TaheriMousavi, Rob Macfarlane, and Alberto Salleo for organizing such a wonderful Rising Stars in Materials Science and Engineering workshop at CMU Materials Science & Engineering.

Is your smart phone ever getting hot? Now, in a paper just published in the leading journal Nature, Vanderbilt Engineering Professors Deyu Li and Josh Caldwell, together with ORNL collaborators, have demonstrated a brand new way to cool devices- more here! engineering.vanderbilt.edu/news/2023/rese…

Huge congratulations to Josh Caldwell for being elected a SPIE Fellow!

Back to Nashville to celebrate the VINSE Vanderbilt Best Collaborative Paper Award with Andrey, Josh Caldwell, and Janet Macdonald. Our paper (doi.org/10.1039/D3NH00…) was also named a 2024 Nanoscale journal family HOT article and one of the most popular articles from 2023. Cheers!

Good morning, Seattle and Happy Earth Day! I am going to present "Low-Dimensional Phonon-Polariton Materials for Higher-Order Hyperbolic Dispersion and Efficient Thermal Transport" this afternoon at the Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting. Welcome to attend if you are also at #S24MRS!

It’s happening now! Prof. Mark Hersam from Northwestern Engineering is presenting his Mid-Career Research Award talk at the Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting. #S24MRS

Congrats to Thiago Arnaud and Owen Meilander, two fantastic mentees who worked with me before Josh Caldwell, for winning the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowships and Honorable Mention!

Excited to share our latest publication! Proud to be part of the team Northwestern Chemical & Biological Engineering Northwestern Chemistry designing optical resonances of oxide supports to enhance plasmonic photocatalysis.

Save the date!! The 3rd workshop on #Boron #Nitride would be held in #Nashville May 12ve - May 15th!!🎉🎉🎉 Hosted by Josh Caldwell!

Once again on my way to the GRS/GRC Plasmonics and Nanophotonics! Two years ago, I led the discussion on GRS and gave a selected poster talk at GRC. This time, I'm excited to present my research under the International Institute for Nanotechnology postdoc fellowship with Dayne Swearer in Northwestern Chemical & Biological Engineering Northwestern Chemistry!

Huge congrats to my collaborator and PhD committee member, Prof. Li Vanderbilt University, for winning U.S. National Science Foundation TRAILBLAZER grant to support his paradigm-shifting research on polaritonic heat transfer, advancing from our recent nature work on conduction rdcu.be/dOIAe to radiation!

Congrats to Deyu Li Vanderbilt University and Frances Ross Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for winning two of the U.S. National Science Foundation TRAILBLAZER (unsure why NSF is yelling at us) awards. $3M/3 yrs is a good deal, even with the recent inflation. new.nsf.gov/news/nsf-award…

If you’re at Materials Research Society (MRS) #F24MRS, check out my Meet the New Faculty Candidates poster today at Hynes Level 2 Hall D, 5–7 PM, and my research talk Friday in Hynes Room 208 at 11:30 AM. I’ll present on harnessing nanoscale light-matter interactions for energy and sustainability.

We're thrilled to welcome Thomas W. Ebbesen from the University of Strasbourg, France. His seminar, “The Alchemy of Vacuum,” will explore how hybrid light-matter states can transform #chemistry & #material properties. More details here: planitpurple.northwestern.edu/event/626721 #quantumscience
