Programme de la conférence

Our laboratory is developing next-generation optical and bioanalytical technologies enabled by nanophotonic sensing, imaging and spectroscopy. Our research focuses on creating label free, real-time, and high-throughput platforms for the analysis of biomolecules, pathogens and living systems with applications spanning from life science research, disease diagnostics, and point-of-care testing.  We leverage an interdisciplinary approach that innovatively combines nanophotonics with microfluidics, surface chemistry and data science methods to achieve new sensing functions and high performance. In this talk, I will highlight some of our recent advances including surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) based microarrays for drug screening and structural sensitive biomarker detection relevant to neurodegenerative diseases, multi-modal imaging platforms for live cell studies, self-illuminating biosensors based on inelastic electron tunneling. I will also cover emerging nanophotonic architectures such as gradient metasurfaces for ultra-broadband and imaging based SEIRA spectroscopy, chirality control, strong coupling, and resonantly enhanced high harmonic generation.
