Metal–Enhanced Fluorescence

CHRIS D. GEDDES , PhD, is a Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where he is the Director of the Institute of Fluorescence, and the Editor in Chief of both the Journal of Fluorescence and Plasmonics. With more than 190 papers and eighteen books to his credit, Dr. Geddes has extensive expertise in fluorescence spectroscopy, particularly in fluorescence sensing and metal-fluorophore interactions.
