SUMMARY:Adventures in 2D Land - Jacob B Khurgin\, John Hopkins University

DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will review of a few issues relating to optoele
 ctronic properties of 2D materials –graphene and transition metals dicha
 lcogenedes (TMDC’).  \n\nSpecifically I will focus on\n(1)	Waveguiding p
 roperties of a single monolayer of  TMDC’s\n(2)	TMDC and graphene as pot
 ential electro-optic and all optical switches –figures of merit\n(3)	Sim
 ilarities between graphene and type II semiconductor quantum wells\n(4)	Ch
 arge-induced second harmonic generation in TMDC bilayers\n\nJacob B Khurgi
 n has been a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hop
 kins University since he remembers himself\, or\, more precisely\, since  
 1988. Prior to that he vaguely recalls being a Senior Member of Research S
 taff at Philips NV where he developed various appliances\, lighting fixtur
 es\, display components and systems including 3-D projection TV. Prof. Khu
 rgin’s main area of expertise is difficult to pinpoint but loosely it fa
 lls in the gap between optics and solid state electronics.  In his 28 year
 s at JHU Prof. Khurgin had made contributions of various degrees of import
 ance in the fields of nonlinear optics\, semiconductor optoelectronic devi
 ces\, quantum-cascade lasers\, optical communications\, THz technology\, m
 icrowave photonics\, slow light\, plasmonics\, laser cooling\, opto-mechan
 ics\, and condensed matter physics. Prof Khurgin had authored over 300 tec
 hnical papers\, 500 Conference presentations\, 5 book chapters\, and 35 pa
 tents. More importantly\, he is very fond of dogs and bicycles and he is a
 lso a Fellow of American Physical Society and Optical Society of America. 
 Prof. Khurgin holds PhD from Polytechnic University of New York (Now eleva
 ted to the status of NYU school of Engineering). \n\n
