Research Interests:Dr. Guo's research interests are nanophotonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials. The major thrust of the research activities is to explore novel metal-dielectric-semiconductor nanostructures to engineer and control plasmon-polaritons in the mesoscopic nanoscale, a scale between the atomic scale and the diffraction limit of light. Engineered nanostructure plasmonic and photonics materials have novel electromagnetic properties which do not exist in nature. One of the examples is that plasmonic nanostructure materials can completely trap photons and function as perfect light absorbers for energy applications. Plasmonic metal-dielectric nanostructures can also confine photons to the deep sub-wavelength nanoscale at designed optical frequencies for sensor applications.Nanostructure plasmonic devices potentially enable sensors for extremely low concentration chemicals and biomolecules.  Biography:Prof. Junpeng Guo received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the University of Illinois, he made the first thin film micro-polarizer array. Now micro-polarizer array elements are used for flat panel 3D displays and polarimetric imaging. After receiving his Ph.D., he joined the Rockwell International Science Center in Thousand Oaks, California as a Research Scientist where he worked on nonlinear optics and nanophotonics. In 2002, he joined the Sandia National Laboratories as a Member of Technical Staff where he worked on nanophotonics, integrated optics, and micro-resonators. In 2005, he joined the faculty of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Now he is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Optics and the principal investigator of plasmonics and metamaterials research at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Prof. Guo received the Alan Berman Research Publication Award in 2013, an ASEE-Air Force Office of Scientific Research Summer Faculty Fellowship in 2010, and an ASEE-Naval Research Office Summer Faculty Fellowship in 2011. He was the sole recipient of the University Distinguished Faculty Research Award at UAH in 2016, and also the sole recipient of the Outstanding Junior Faculty Award of the College of Engineering in 2007. He is a Fellow of SPIE-The International Society for Optics and Photonics, and a senior member of the Optical Society of America and IEEE . Currently, he serves as Associate Editor for Photonics Research and also serves as Associate Editor for Journal of Nanophotonics.Teaching:
