DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lukas Novotny\, Photonics Laboratory\, Physics Departmen
 t\, ETH Zurich\nBio: Lukas Novotny has been a Professor of Photonics at th
 e Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering since 20
 12.\nHe was born in Opocno\, Czech Republic\, in 1966 (then Czechoslovakia
 ).\nLukas Novotny completed a diploma in electrical engineering at ETH Zur
 ich in 1992 and went on to obtain a PhD (Dr. sc. techn.) from the same uni
 versity in 1996. For his PhD thesis Light Propagation and Light Confinemen
 t in Near-field Optics\, he collaborated with IBM Research Division in Rus
 chlikon.\nIn his professional career\, Lukas Novotny was a research fellow
  at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, Richland\, WA\, USA (1996-
 1999) before becoming an assistant and subsequently associate professor of
  optics at the University of Rochester in Rochester\, NY\, USA (1999-2007)
 .\nIn 2007 he was appointed professor of biomedical engineering (Departmen
 t of Biomedical Engineering) at Rochester and\, the same year\, professor 
 of optics and physics at the university’s Optics and Physics Department.
  Before joining ETH Zurich\, he spent a sabbatical year at ICFO\, the Inst
 itute de Cienciès Fotòniques in Barcelona\, Spain and has since then bee
 n a Distinguished Invited Professor there.\nKeywords: optical antennas\, p
