Short Bio
Alessandro Salandrino received his "Laurea Magistralis" degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Applied Electromagnetics, from the University of Rome RomaTre. In 2004 he joined Prof.Engheta's group at the University of Pennsylvania as visiting research assistant. After graduating with a PhD in Optics and Photonics from CREOL, the College of Optics at the University of Central Florida, he joined the department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California Berkeley as a postdoctoral research associate. His main research interests are in nanophotonics, with a particular emphasis on nano-structured systems such as metamaterials and plasmonic devices. Among his main contributions to the field of nanophotonics are the invention of a far-field subdiffraction imaging system known as "Hyperlens", and the introduction of the Airy Plasmons, a novel class of diffraction-free surface plasmon polaritons. He is the author of 21 peer-reviewed articles and holds 3 U.S. Patents.News
