Research

Prof. Shalaev's research interests lie in the area of physics of light-matter interaction, including nanophotonics, plasmonics, non-linear and quantum optics, development of new optical metamaterials and their applications. He made significant contributions to

optics of fractal and percolation composites and their applications for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS),

the field of optical metamaterials, including first experimental observation (collectively with his research team at Purdue University) of negative refractive index in the optical frequency range and magnetic response across the entire visible range,

development of new material platforms for plasmonics aimed at enabling plasmonic applications requiring mechanical and thermal resiliency of constituent materials and their compatibility with modern semiconductor technologies.

Awards and honors

Prof. Shalaev received a number of awards for his research and leadership in the field of nanophotonics and metamaterials, including

The 2015 IEEE Photonics Society William Streifer Scientific Achievement Award “for seminal contributions both to the theoretical framework and to the ground‐breaking experimental realization of optical metamaterials”,

2015 Rolf Landauer International ETOPIM Association Medal. According to the ETOPIM website, "the medal is awarded to honour senior scientists with pioneering contributions in the study of inhomogeneous media",

2014 OSA and SPIE Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award for the book Optical Metamaterials: Fundamentals and Applications; authors: W. Cai and V. Shalaev,
