Biography

Dr Stefan Maier is a Reader in the Department of Physics. He joined the University of Bath in June 2004 after spending 5 years at the Watson Laboratories of Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena.

His research interests include plasmonics - the investigation and exploitation of sub-wavelength confinement and guiding of electromagnetic energy using metallic micro- and nanostructures - and near-field optical microscopy. His work on plasmon waveguides at optical and near-infrared frequencies since 2000 has thus far attracted over 300 citations and numerous invited contributions to journals and conferences.

Book cover

Plasmonics is currently one of the hottest topics in nanophotonics and materials science, as evidenced by the growing number of dedicated symposiums at international conferences. Stefan served as co-organizer of a symposium on plasmonics at the Materials Research Society Fall 2005 conference in Boston, and is currently the main organizer of a nanophotonics symposium at the European Materials Research Society Spring 2007 meeting in Strasbourg. Towards the end of 2006, he will be publishing a comprehensive overview of the field in a book commissioned by Springer.

Since joining the faculty in Bath, he has established a program on near-field spectroscopy and microscopy of plasmonic nanostructures (funded by EPSRC) and a new effort on plasmonics at terahertz frequencies (together with Dr. Steve Andrews, funded by AFOSR & the Royal Society). He is actively collaborating with a number of groups in France, Spain and the United States.

In his spare time, he enjoys traveling and reading latin american literature.
