DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marin Soljačič\, Physics Department\, MIT\nMarin Solja
 čić is Professor of Physics at MIT. His main research interests are in e
 lectromagnetic phenomena\, focusing on nanophotonics\, non-linear optics\,
  and wireless power transfer. He is a co-author of more than 200 scientifi
 c articles\, more than 100 issued US patents\, and he has been invited to 
 give more than 100 invited talks at conferences and universities around th
 e world. He is the recipient of the Adolph Lomb medal from the Optical Soc
 iety of America (2005)\, and the TR35 award of the Technology Review magaz
 ine (2006). In 2008\, he was awarded a MacArthur fellowship “genius” g
 rant. He is an international member of the Croatian Academy of Engineering
  since 2009. In 2011 he became a Young Global Leader (YGL) of the World Ec
 onomic Forum. In 2014\, he was awarded Blavatnik National Award\, as well 
 as Invented Here! (Boston Patent Law Association). In 2017\, he was awarde
 d "The Order of the Croatian Daystar\, with the image of Ruđer Bošković
 "\, the Croatian President’s top medal for Science. In 2017\, the Croati
 an President also awarded him with "The Order of the Croatian Interlace 
 » medal. \nAbstract:\nThe talk will cover two different topics that hav
 e been of significant interest to our group lately. In the first part of t
 he talk\, I will present a novel class of widely tunable (from THz to X-ra
 y) light sources\, based on fast electrons interacting with nanophotonic d
 esigns. The second part of the talk will focus on the recent excitement th
 at Deep Learning Neural Networks brought to the field of Artificial Intell
 igence. I will discuss how nanophotonics can contribute to the development
  of this exciting field\, and I will also present examples how Deep Learni
 ng techniques might be useful in nanophotonics design.
