Biography
Anis Rahman is known for his work on Dendrimer based photonics and terahertz technology. He Coined the term “silicon for photonics†and his approach makes it possible to fabricate chip based components from dendrimer for sensing and terahertz generation. He proposed a new mechanism, dendrimer dipole excitation, that generated continuous wave terahertz over a broad spectrum. Under his leadership, dendrimer technology received prestigious awards including the NASA Nanotech Brief’s nano-50 award and CLEO/Laser Focus World’s Innovation award (2011). He completed MS & PhD at Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI) and a postdoctoral research position at Columbia University (NY).
Research Interest
Anis Rahman research expertise includes photonic waveguide gratings, DWDMs, chip-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs), photonics design, simulation, characterization, and packaging; dendrimers; laser-evaporated direct-write of microelectronic components; and thick- and thin-films.
