Profile Summary

Amit Agrawal, is a Project Leader in the Photonics and Optomechanics Group at the Physical Measurement Laboratories (PML) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received a Bachelors with Honors in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from the Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University India and, M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Utah. His doctoral research focused on developing plasmonic metamaterials and guided-wave devices operating at terahertz frequencies. He was then a CNST/UMD Postdoctoral Researcher at NIST, where he worked on developing measurement methods for studying the electromagnetic properties of plasmonic nanostructures for applications in switching, sensing and lasing. He then joined the faculty of Syracuse University, where he was the John E. and Patricia Breyer Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and continued his work on designing and characterizing nanoplasmonic and metamaterial devices, as well as measuring their opto-mechanical and opto-electronic response. He is a recipient of the University of Utah Graduate Research Fellowship, New Focus/Bookham Award from OSA, IEEE/LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship, and the D. J. Lovell Scholarship from SPIE, and has been recognized as a Rising Researcher by the SPIE, and was the runner-up in the Rising Stars of Light competition in 2020. His current research interests are focused on: (i) developing time-resolved optical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques in the visible, mid-infrared and terahertz ranges to study optical effects in devices based on novel materials, and (ii) developing metasurfaces and integrated nanophotonic devices operating from the ultraviolet to the infrared for chip-scale realization of integrated quantum systems.
