Sudip Gurung is a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University of California, Irvine. He has completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Tribhuvan University, Nepal.
Sudip is interested in Nano-Optics, Plasmonics, Metamaterials and its application. Plasmonics is a promising new field of physics. It offers a simple and unique solution to the age old diffraction limit. Optical signals can be squeezed into miniscule wire using light to produce electron density wave called Plasmons. Plasmonics devices can be used to make ultrafast computing, improving the resolution of microscope, increase the sensitivity of chemical and biological sensors, cloaking (making object invisible to a certain spectrum of Electromagnetic radiation), efficient light emitting diodes, ultrathin variable focal length Lenses and Bio-Medical physics. Finally, he believes that any research work should have some kind of practical applications.
