Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Jason Valentine has received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development grant.
The four-year, $400,000 grant – All-Dielectric Optical Metasurfaces For Controlling Wave Fronts – will allow Valentine to continue research that will lead to a new class of ultra-compact optical elements that can improve the performance and integration of a wide range of devices such as visible and infrared cameras, light-wave imagers, as well as be an enabling technology for applications such as free-space telecommunications and optical manipulation.
