Title: Sculptured Thin Films

---
Abstract: Sculptured thin films (STFs) are assemblies of nanowires that
can be fabricated from many different materials, typically via physical
vapor deposition onto rotating substrates. The curvilinear–nanowire
morphology of STFs is determined by the substrate motions during
fabrication.
The optical properties, especially, can be tailored by varying the
morphology of STFs. In many cases prototype devices have been fabricated
for various optical, biomedical, forensic, andother applications.

Biography of the Speaker: Akhlesh Lakhtakia received degrees from the
Banaras Hindu University (B.Tech. & D.Sc.) and the University of Utah
(M.S. & Ph.D.), in electronics engineering and electrical engineering,
respectively. He is the Charles Godfrey Binder (Endowed) Professor of
Engineering Science and Mechanics at the Pennsylvania State University. He
is a Fellow of SPIE, Optical Society of America, American Association for
the Advancement of Sciences, American Physical Society, and Institute of
Physics (UK). He is presently the editor-in-chief of Journal of
Nanophotonics.

His current research interests include nanotechnology, plasmonics,
engineered biomimicry, complex materials, metamaterials, and sculptured
thin films.
