Jason Valentine, associate professor of mechanical engineering, was聽one of five 自慰视频 professors who won a聽Chancellor鈥檚 Award for Research this week.
The award recognizes excellence in works published or presented in the last three calendar years. Recipients also received $2,000 and an engraved pewter julep cup.
Valentine was honored for work published in聽Nano Letters聽in which he made a major advance in the design of optical metamaterials.
His research group is developing optical metamaterials, which are nanostructured composites that allow engineering of a wide range of properties. Nanoscale structuring supports creation and investigation of properties that don鈥檛 exist in nature, such as a negative and zero-index of refraction. Applications include ultra-compact optical elements, efficient and low power optoelectronics, and hot electron-based energy conversion devices.
