Sir Fraser Stoddart Postdoc Fellow @NorthwesternU | Ph.D. in MechE @VanderbiltU | Studying nanophotonic materials & devices.
Joined May 2020
Congratulations to @Guanyu__Lu, inaugural Fraser Stoddart Fellow in the @dayne_swearer Group, on his first lead-author paper in ACS Nano. A milestone for both Guanyu and the fellowship. Read the full paper: https://t.co/ejlVbOHSzC
A simple method for detecting hydrogen gas has been developed based on changes in reflection from nanoscale silicon carbide resonators. This demonstration opens the doors to passive optical sensor technologies in the mid-infrared. Read it here đź”— https://t.co/yXIvfZUkIR

Hydrogen is widely used in industry and is a critical clean energy carrier, but it is inherently infrared-inactive. By integrating patterned silicon carbide with palladium, our hybridized platform achieves ultrasensitive and reversible sensing in the molecular fingerprint region.

Thrilled to share our new paper in @acsnano! We developed a low-loss phonon polariton platform for dynamic hydrogen sensing in the mid-infrared. Excited to publish my first lead-author paper from @dayne_swearer’s group @NUChemistry @nu_chbe.

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 @IINanoNU postdoc fellowship with @dayne_swearer in @nu_chbe @NUChemistry!
On the way to @GordonConf Plasmonics and Nanophotonics. Looking forward to leading the discussion on GRS “Enhancing Light-Matter Interactions with Metamaterials, Metasurfaces and Nanoparticles”, which will feature talks from @Goerlitzer_etal, @PrachiThureja, @phy_souvik and more!

Excited to share our latest publication! Proud to be part of the team @nu_chbe @NUChemistry designing optical resonances of oxide supports to enhance plasmonic photocatalysis.
I'm hopping back onto Xwitter real quick to share that we've published our paper on using Mie Resonant metal oxide catalytic supports to produce broadband rate enhancements for photocatalysis! Optical synergies lead to improved performance.

This research is hot, but it could lead to new cooling technologies for electronics. @VanderbiltU & @ORNL researchers have found evidence of a predicted but previously-unobserved mechanism for how polar thin films and nanowires conduct heat: https://t.co/PScSGRwUEa
