Today we had our first joint group meeting with the Bione Lab (https://www.zjahed.com), led by Prof. Zeinab Jahed in Nanoengineering! We enjoyed our lively scientific discussions on the many overlapping and complementary research directions that arise when nanoelectonics meets nanophotonics!
Metamaterials 2021 Talk
Prof. Poulikakos presented an invited talk at Metamaterials 2021! Thank you Dia’aaldin Bisharat​ for the kind invitation!
Aniket Defends his MS Thesis!
Congratulations to Aniket for the successful defence of his MS thesis titled “A Stokes parameter study of collagen and poly (ϵ-caprolactone) with polarized light microscopy“. Excellent work Aniket!!!


A research perspective titled “Colorimetric Metasurfaces Shed Light on Fibrous Biological Tissue” was published in the 2021 Emerging Investigators Themed Issue of the Journal of Materials Chemistry C!
This paper was authored by lab members Zaid Haddadin, Trinity Pike, Jebin J. Moses, and Professor Poulikakos.

Prof. Poulikakos is among 20 early career scientists to win funding for research to accelerate the development of the next generation of imaging technologies as part of the inaugural year of Scialog: Advancing BioImaging, a three-year initiative supported by Research Corporation for Science Advancement, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation.
