Nano flashlight enables new applications of light
Two of the lab’s recent papers in Nature Scientific Reports have been featured. Robin Singh’s work on developing a nanoscale flashlight on a chip is described here.
Deploying no-contact vitals-sensing kiosks across campus
Lab members Ivan Goryachev, Ryan Koeppen, and Shawn Zhang, are developing a thermal trailer and kiosks that could be deployed on campus during the Covid-19 pandemic. The thermal trailers screens asymptomatic individuals using thermal cameras for elevated temperatures prior to Covid-19 testing. More info here.
