Abstract: On-going research in our laboratory in Nanophotonics, Metaphotonics and Biophotonics will be presented, along with a discussion of their current status and future direction. Nanophotonics deals with optical interactions and dynamics on nanoscale. The talk will discuss our work on multiphoton harvesting and photon transforming nanostructures (Optical nanotransformers) that shift photons from one spectral range to another for many emerging biomedical and photovoltaic technologies requiring light of a specific wavelength range not readily deliverable to the site where it is needed. Another new area of our activities is metaphotonics, which deals with manipulation of electric and magnetic fields and their coupling in nanoengineered materials to control the field distribution and propagation of electromagnetic waves. Our activities in Metaphotonics focus on chiral media which intrinsically couple electric and magnetic dipoles. In biophotonics, which utilizes photonics for imaging , sensing and light controlled therapy, our current focus has been to develop nanostructures and metaphotonics structures that can respond in the spectral region called NIR window II ( 1,000 nm to 1,400nm ) which provide deeper penetration through biological tissues. 

Prof. Prasad is SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Medicine; the Samuel P. Capen Chair of Chemistry; and the Executive Director of the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics at the University at Buffalo. He was named among the top 50 science and technology leaders in the world by Scientific American in 2005. He has published over 750 scientific and technical papers in high-impact journals; four monographs that practically defined the fields of organic nonlinear optics, Biophotonics, Nanophotonics, Nanobioengineering and Nanomedicine; and eight edited books. According to Google Scholar, Prasad’s h-index is 105 and his work has been cited over 48,000 times. This year, SPIE, a professional International Photonics Society with more than 50,000 members worldwide, awarded him its highest honor: the President’s Gold medal.
