Plasmonics and Super-Resolution Imaging

Prof. Zhaowei Liu received his PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2006 and joined the faculty of the Engineering and Computer Engineering department at the University California, San Diego, in 2008. He received Young Investigator Awards from the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 2013 and became OSA Fellow in 2016. His research interests include nanophotonics, super-resolution ultrafast imaging, biophotonics, metamaterials, plasmonics, energy, LEDs, and micro-/nanofabrication.
