Research Statement

Brongersma's research focuses on the fabrication and characterization of nanometer-size electronic and optical devices. The ability to engineer materials at the atomic level has opened myriad possibilities for the advancement of technologies that impact the areas of semiconductors, telecommunications, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals. His current research is aimed at the development of Si-based microphotonic functionality and plasmonic devices that can manipulate the flow of light at the nanoscale.

Research Interests
Nanoscale electronic and photonic materials and devices.
Guiding and manipulation of light in metal-optic structures.
Optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals and nanowires.
Fundamentals of ion beam modification of materials.
Nanoscale thermal engineering with light.
