DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yuri S. Kivshar\, Australian National University\, Canbe
 rra (AUS)\nPHOTONICS & BIOENGINEERING SEMINARAbstract:\nRapid progress in 
 plasmonics is driven by the ability to enhance near-field effects with sub
 wavelength localization of light. Recently\, we observe the emergence of a
  new branch of nanophotonics aiming at the manipulation of strong opticall
 y-induced electric and magnetic Mie-type resonances in dielectric and semi
 conductor nanostructures with high refractive index. Unique ad-vantages of
  dielectric resonant optical nanostructures over their metallic counterpar
 ts are low dissipative losses\, low heating\, and the enhancement of both 
 electric and magnetic fields. In this talk\, I will review this new emergi
 ng field of nanophotonics and metamaterials and demonstrate that Mie-type 
 resonances in dielectric nanoparticles and subwavelength dielectric struct
 ures can be exploited for new physics and novel functionalities of photoni
 c structures especially in the nonlinear regime.Bio:\nYuri S. Kivshar rece
 ived PhD in 1984 in the Ukraine. After working at several research centers
  he moved to Australia in 1993 where he established the Nonlinear Physics 
 Center. Kivshar’s research interests include nonlinear photonics\, optic
 al solitons\, metamaterials\, and more recently nanophotonics. He is Fello
 w of the Australian Academy of Science\, OSA\, APS\, and IOP. He received 
 many awards including the Pnevmatikos Prize in Nonlinear Science (Greece)\
 , Lyle Medal (Australia)\, State Prize in Science and Technology (Ukraine)
 \, and Harrie Massey Medal (UK).
