About this person

Naomi J. Halas is an American physicist and nano scientist. She is University Professor at Rice University and the Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She is also the founding director of Rice University Laboratory for Nanophotonics, and the Smalley-Curl Institute. She invented the first nanoparticle with tunable plasmonic resonances, which are controlled by their shape and structure, and has won numerous awards for her pioneering work in the field of nanophotonics and plasmonics. She was also part of a team that developed the first dark pulse soliton in 1987 while working for IBM.
