Vladimir Shalaev (born February 18, 1957) is an American physisist of Russian descent known for his work in the field of nanophotonics , plasmonics , and optical metamaterials.^[1][2][3] V. Shalaev is currently the Robert and Anne Burnett Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering,^[4] Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering ^[5] and Professor of Physics ^[6] at Purdue University. Prof. Shalaev also serves as Scientific Director for Nanophotonics at Purdue University's Birck Nanotechnology Center.^[7]

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.^[8][9][10] He made significant contributions to

• optics of fractal and percolation composites ^[11][12] and their applications for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS),^[13]
• 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 ^[14][15] and magnetic response across the entire visible range,^[14][16]
• 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.^{[17][18][19][20]}

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”,^[3]
• 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".^[21]
• The 2012 UNESCO Medal for the Development of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies,^[1]
• The 2010 Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics "for pioneering studies of optical metamaterials and plasmonic nanostructures",^[2]
• The 2010 Optical Society of America Max Born Award "for seminal contributions to both the theoretical framework and the experimental realization of optical metamaterials",^[22]
• Honorary Doctorate from University of Southern Denmark.^[23]

V. Shalaev is a Fellow of

• The American Physical Society (APS),^[24]
• The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE),^[25]
• The Optical Society of America (OSA),^[26]
• The Materials Research Society ^[27]
• The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.^[28]

Publications

Prof. V. Shalaev co-/authored three- ^[29][30][31] and co-/edited four ^{[32][33][34][35]} books in the area of his scientific expertise. According to Prof. Shalaev's website, over the course of his career he contributed 28 invited chapters to various scientific anthologies and published a number of invited review articles, over 400 publications in total, including 277 research papers in refereed journals.^[9] He is also a co-inventor in 20 patents,^[9] and he made over 300 invited presentations at International Conferences and leading research centers, including a number of plenary and keynote talks.^[36][37]
