Biographical Sketch
Since 2006, Gary Wiederrecht has served as Group Leader of the Nanophotonics Group at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, Argonne National Laboratory.
Research Statement
Our group objective is to achieve control of optical energy and its conversion on the nanometer scale by combining the properties of metal, organic, semiconductor, and dielectric materials to create new, combined states of light and matter. My current research focuses on (a) ultrafast excitation processes of plasmons and their interactions with organic molecular excitations, (b) new microscopies with spatial resolution below the diffraction limit, and (c) parallel near-field optical lithographies to create hybrid nanostructures over large areas.
