Austin Howes

Austin Howes earned his Ph.D. in Physics in 2020 under Jason Valentine. His work advanced the field of metasurfaces to include new types of miniaturized optics that can be dynamically tuned.  During his time at Vanderbilt, Austin witnessed VINSE’s construction and was one of the early super-users… Read More

Episode 19 of the VINSE Spotlight Podcast Austin Howes tells Alice Leach about optical limiting using materials that change their properties when exposed to external energy sources. Austin’s paper “Optical Limiting Based on Huygens’ Metasurfaces” was published in Nano Letters. Austin graduated with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering… Read More
