Caldwell Nanophotonic Materials and Devices Lab

SiC Workshop Attended by Josh and Ryan

Posted by on Saturday, December 29, 2018 in News.

Both Josh and Ryan attended and presented at the recent Silicon Carbide Materials & Devices Workshop at the Air Force Research Lab.  Josh presented an invited talk on implications for SiC for advanced infrared optics and nanophotonics, while Ryan presented a poster highlighting recent results from a collaboration with Greg Walker’s group (Vanderbilt) on harnessing waste heat to drive narrow-band infrared thermal emitters for a variety of applications.

Afterwards, they both had the pleasure of visiting the Air Force Lab’s Aviation Museum.  It was fantastic!  Below find some photos!
