The Electronic Imaging Center is an interdisciplinary Center focused on Nanotechnology, Spectral and Imaging analysis, and Energy.
Research
Nanotechnology is a field dealing with underlined phenomena at the nanoscale. It covers diverse phenomena that encompass molecular/biological interactions, interfacial science, as well as bulk and surface properties.The field is fast expanding into agriculture, energy, and pharma industries and is expected to create millions of new jobs and to generate $1 trillion in product revenues worldwide.
Spectroscopy at sub-wavelength range is a field important to pollution detection, remote sensing and imaging at resolutions surpassing the diffraction limits. It is related to nanoscale phenomena but can also find applications in the infrared and the THz frequency range.
Imaging, and specifically in conjunction with spectroscopy has large sensing implications especially in the medical and sensing fields. Tomography with light is a good example of such focused research.
Energy is fast becoming a crucial commodity: its generation, transmission, delivery and storage are key to the development of the US economy, thereby are part of our National Security.
