My teaching and research focuses on developing advanced metamaterials and other optoelectronic materials and devices that have practical applications in renewable energy devices, solar cells, sensors, advanced imaging systems, optical coatings, and advanced optical materials. I am the Director of two industry/university cooperative research organizations, the National Science Foundation IUCRC Center for Metamaterials (CfM) and the New York State Center for Advanced Technology (CAT). Our research is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, with faculty and researchers from numerous fields of engineering and science involved in the projects, and with our labs regularly interacting with over 30 large and small companies. The CAT and CfM have developed a small business incubator/accelerator for CUNY spin-off technology companies, entrepreneurship training sessions, and lead CUNY in developing policies supporting and managing the creation of spin-off companies. The companies I have spun-off from my academic research laboratories have generated over $8M in revenue from SBIR and STTR awards, large government contracts and product sold to large companies. I bring these critcal industry-relevant experiences and real-life emphasis of engineering and science to the classroom. By integrating modern engineering techniques and tools into the curriculum, I have successfully placed many of my students in corporate internships and full-time employment.
