Poštovani kolege,
ljubazno sam zamoljen s IRB-a da proslijedim oglas o predavanju
Prof. M. Soljačića,
Hrvoje Buljan

---------------------
Poštovani,

Ravnateljica IRB-a Vas poziva dana 19.05. u 11:00 sati na kolokvij
prof. Marina Soljačića pod nazivom  "Photonic Crystals: when the
only limit is imagination" koji će se održati u dvorani III krila.

Predavanje će se održati u sklopu aktivnosti povodom obilježavanja
60. obljetnice IRB-a, a isto će trajati 50 minuta,nakon čega slijedi
10 minuta za eventualna pitanja. Niže u mailu prilažemo kratki abstract
te CV prof. Soljačića.

S poštovanjem,
Ana Vidoš

Abstract:

"Photonic Crystals are artificially created metamaterials:
they are nano-structured at scales smaller than the wavelength
of light. As a result, light propagating inside them does
not really resolve the structure; instead, a Photonic Crystal
"appears" to light as a uniform material, but in which laws
of optical physics are dramatically modified. This way, one
can tailor laws of physics almost at will, designing
metamaterials with optical properties dramatically different
than those of any naturally occurring material. In this talk,
I will present a variety of novel physical phenomena displayed
by photonic crystals, including some of the exciting
applications they enable."

Bio:

"Marin Soljacic has been an Assistant Professor of Physics at MIT

since September 2005. He will be an Associate Professor of Physics

at MIT starting July 2010. He received a BsE degree in physics and

electrical engineering from MIT in 1996, and earned his PhD in

physics at Princeton University in 2000. In September 2000, he

was named an MIT Pappalardo Fellow in Physics, and in 2003 was

appointed a Principal Research Scientist in the Research Laboratory

of Electronics at MIT. His main research interests are in theory

of electromagnetic phenomena, focusing on nanophotonics, non-linear

optics, and wireless power transfer. He is a co-author of 97

scientific articles and 16 patents, and has given more than 70

invited talks at conferences and universities around the world.

He is the recipient of the Adolph Lomb medal from the Optical

Society of America (2005), and the TR35 award of the Technology

Review magazine (2006). The work on wireless power transfer that

he spear-headed has been singled out as one of the most important

technological developments of 2007 by the New York Times, BBC News,

Scientific American, the Technology Review, and Discover Magazine.

In 2008, he was awarded a MacArthur (genius) fellowship grant."
