Marko Loncar is currently an associate of electrical engineering.
Expert on nano-optics will further strengthen SEAS' teaching and research in electrical engineering. Harvard President Drew Faust has approved Marko Loncar for promotion to the role of full professor with tenure at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). An expert in nanophotonics and quantum optics, Loncar studies the interactions of light and matter at the nano-scale. His current work involves controlling the behavior of photons, trapping and releasing them at a practical rate within tiny diamond structures. In a sense, he is working to build a network of fiber-optic cables at the scale of an extremely small computer chip. The end goal of this work is to integrate sophisticated optical and microelectronic technologies into novel devices for rapid and efficient communication, signal processing, and biological sensing. Loncar's research blends the theoretical with the experimental, ranging from the development of sophisticated numerical models, which explore the underlying physics of nanophotonics and quantum phenomena, to new fabrication techniques for nanoscale structures.
