The attoworld-team warmly welcomes Professor Howard Lee from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) as a visiting professor through the Humboldt Fellowship.
Before joining UCI in 2020, Howard Lee was an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Baylor University, an IQSE Fellow, and a visiting professor in the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering (IQSE) at Texas A&M. He was also a Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech, working with Prof. Harry Atwater in active plasmonics/metasurfaces. He received his PhD in Physics from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in 2012. His current research group focuses on the active linear, nonlinear, and quantum properties of nanophotonics, including metasurfaces/zero-index optics/plasmonics, ‘meta’-fiber optics, biophotonics and imaging, and hybrid photonic-plasmonic on-chip optical devices. Howard is a Fellow of Optica and SPIE, a Humboldt Research Fellow, a Moore Experimental Physics Investigator, and the Chair-Elect for the APS Far West Section.
At the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics he aims to combine his group’s expertise in metamaterials and nano-optics with Attoworld’s leading research in attosecond spectroscopy. This collaboration creates a unique opportunity to probe previously unobserved optical and electronic behaviors. It also holds the potential to drive advancements in ultrafast optical modulation required for next-generation communication platforms, future optical computing, and the precision probing of complex biomolecules.
We are welcoming Howard to join us in collaborating attosecond physics at the nanoscale.
