The Department of Physics cordially invites members of the university community to her Special Seminar, details of which are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, January 10, 2024.
Venue: Faculty of Science Boardroom.
Time: 1:00pm prompt.
The Seminar will be facilitated by a Professorof Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, USA, Justus Ndukaife. He will speak on the topic, Next Generation Optical Nanotweezers for Biology and the Environment.
Prof. Justus Ndukaife is an accomplished researcher and innovator in the field of Optics and Nanophotonics. He earned his Ph.D. (Electrical Engineering) from Purdue University, following an M.Sc. degree from Purdue Northwest University and a B.Sc. degree with First Class Honours from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. His research revolves around optical nanotweezers enabled by cutting-edge nanophotonics technologies, including plasmonics and resonant dielectric metasurfaces.
His exceptional work on optical nanotweezers has been published in top rated journals, such as Nature Nanotechnology, Science, Nature Communications, ACS Nano, ACS Photonics, Nanoscale, Nano Letters, among others. He is a recipient of many prestigious awards and honours, and a Senior Member of the IEEE and Optica.
