Nano-Optics for Highly Localized EM Fields and Some Applications This presentation describes studies of optical phenomena at the nanoscale for coupling electromagnetic waves into bright, sub-diffraction-limited spots. In particular, we investigate optical and infrared antennas designed to strongly resonate with radiation. The…

UAVs vs. Natural Autonomous Vehicles (NAVs) -- Are We Closing the Gap? There have been many significant advancements in UAV technology over the past 10-15 years.  In this presentation, we will step back and evaluate how well we are really doing in this area by comparing performance of UAVs with those of Natural Autonomous…
