PARAS N. PRASAD is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Medicine; the Samuel P. Capen Chair; and the Executive Director of the Institute of Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics at the University of Buffalo. Professor Prasad has published over 450 scientific papers and lectured worldwide on nanophotonics. He has offered a multidisciplinary course on nanophotonics at Buffalo as well as a short course on this subject at the SPIE professional society meetings. In May 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense, under its nanotechnology initiative, chose the Institute of

Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics in Buffalo to lead a comprehensive multidisciplinary program in Nanophotonics involving a world-class consortium of researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, and Yale University.

Abstract: A major direction of this presentation is Nanophotonics which taps on nanoscale manipulation of optical interactions and control of light propagation and energy flow on nanoscale for a whole range of applications ranging from optoelectronic devices, to solar energy harvesting, to Nanomedicine. This lecture will focus on the program on Nanophotonics and multifunctional nanomaterials for energy and health care in Prof. Prasad’s group. This talk will conclude with a discussion of future outlook and new opportunities in these fields.
