Towards Smart Photonics Materials

Join us for an inspiring talk by Dr. Yunuen Montelongo, an expert in cutting-edge photonic materials! Dr. Montelongo will explore the development of reconfigurable materials for photonic devices, shedding light on groundbreaking applications such as sensors, metamaterials, holographic displays, data storage, and tuneable lasers. This talk is open to all disciplines—regardless of your background in engineering or non-engineering, everyone is welcome to join, learn, and engage in discussions about the future of light-matter interactions and advanced nanostructured materials. Plus, food and snacks will be provided! Don’t miss this exciting opportunity—come and be part of the conversation!

Bio: Dr Yunuen Montelongo obtained his PhD in 2015 at the University of Cambridge in the Centre of Advanced Photonics and Electronics. Then, he continued with his postdoctoral training in the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London. Currently he is a part-time Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science and Research Fellow of Wolfson College. His research focuses on the development of reconfigurable materials for photonic devices. This includes theoretical aspect of the light-matter interaction and experimental demonstrations involving nanostructured materials. The applications of reconfigurable materials include sensors, metamaterials, holographic displays, data storage, tuneable lasers, among many others.
