Controlling light at the nanoscale is both fascinating and practical.
Alberto G. Curto is Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He is also part of the Institute for Photonic Integration. The goal of Curto's research is to find new and improved ways of making light interact with very small matter such as molecules. He is developing semiconductor nanophotonics for sensing, imaging, and spectroscopy. His current research interests span from the optics and optoelectronics of atomically thin semiconductors to chirality in nano-optics.
Before launching his research lab in Eindhoven, Curto was a postdoctoral Marie Curie fellow at Stanford University in the United States working on metal and semiconductor nano-optics and on layered 2D semiconductors. His PhD research at ICFO focused on nano-antennas as optical elements for enhanced interaction of light with nanoscale matter.
Curto is the recipient of an NWO START-UP Grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (2018) and an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council (2020).
