Dan Wasserman

I received my Sc.B. degree in Engineering/Physics from Brown University in 1998.  My doctoral work was conducted at Princeton University with Professor Steve Lyon in the Department of Electrical Engineering.  I received my Ph.D in 2004 for a dissertation entitled: "InAs Quantum Dots: Mid-Infrared Luminescence, (110) Growth, Single-Dot Luminescence and Cleaved Edge Overgrowth".  Upon graduation, I was awarded a Princeton Council on Science and Technology Postdoctoral Fellowship.  I spent the next three years working with Professor Claire Gmachl in the Princeton University Mid-Infrared Photonics Group, where I studied integrated nonlinearities in Quantum Cascade Lasers (among other things).  I began the 2007 academic year as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.  My mid-infrared photonics group develops optoelectronic devices for the detection and emission of mid-infrared light.  In addition, we are developing a new class of optoelectronic devices based on mid-infrared plasmonic structures.
