[LA-SiGMA] LASiGMA Seminar Wednesday November 12, at 3:30 pm - Joseph Herzog

[shelley lee]

Dear All,

Dr. Joseph Herzog of the University of Arkansas will be giving a talk
Wednesday, November 12th, at 3:30pm in room 1008B at the Digital Media
Center, Louisiana State University. The title of his talk is "The design and
characterization of plasmonic nanostructures and photonic crystals.."

Abstract:
Computational Electromagnetic modeling has proven to be extremely accurate
at simulating the optical properties of nanostructures. This work shows
example of how computations simulations have accurately confirmed nanoscale
phenomena including hybridized dark plasmonic modes and polarization effects
in nano gap structures used for surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
Additionally, optical models have confirmed the nanoscale plasmonic heating
in a single gold nanowire. Recent work has been using these tools to
characterize the optical properties of gold nanowires and to investigate and
optimize the design of new nanofabrication techniques for plasmonic
structures and photonic crystals.

Biography:
J. B. Herzog completed his PhD at the University of Notre Dame in Dr. James
Merz's Nano-Optics lab, where Herzog performed single-molecule spectroscopy
on colloidal semiconductor nanostructures. Before coming to Arkansas, Herzog
was a postdoc at Rice University in Houston, TX where he worked with Dr.
Douglas Natelson on plasmonic devices for surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS) and thermo plasmonics. He started at the University of
Arkansas (Fayetteville) in the summer of 2013 as a Visiting Assistant
Professor in the Department of Physics. In just over a year he has
established an active research lab with graduate and undergraduate student
researcher. At the University of Arkansas, Herzog is also a faculty member
of the Micro-electronics and Photonics Program, is a member of the Institute
for Nanoscience and Engineering, and is the student chapter faculty advisor
of SPIE - the international society for optics and photonics. His current
research interests include plasmonic nanostructures and photonic crystals.
