Nikolay I. Zheludev

Nikolay Zheludev (born 23 April 1955) is a Russian-British scientist specializing in nanophotonics,[1] metamaterials,[2] nanotechnology,[3] electrodynamics,[4] and nonlinear optics.[5] Nikolay Zheludev is one of the founding members of the closely interlinked fields of metamaterials and nanophotonics that emerged at the dawn of the 21st century on the crossroads of optics and nanotechnology. Nikolay’s work focus on developing new concepts in which nanoscale structuring of matter enhance and radically change its optical properties.[6]

Career

Zheludev started his academic career at the International Laser Centre at Moscow State University. He moved to the UK in 1991, becoming the Director of the Centre for Photonic Metamaterials and Deputy Director of the Optoelectronics Research Centre of the University of Southampton in 2007.[7] Since 2014 he has been the founding Co-Director of The Photonics Institute, Singapore,[8] and has directed the Centre for Disruptive Photonic Technologies at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore since 2012.[9]

He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Optics and an Advisory Board Member for Nanophotonics, ACS Photonics, and Nature Publishing Group Scientific Reports. In 2007, he established the European Physical Society international biennial meeting for nanophotonics and metamaterials, the NANOMETA conference.[10]

Awards and recognition

Prof. N. Zheludev in 2015 was awarded the Young Medal and Prize for “Global Leadership and Pioneering, Seminal Work in Optical Metamaterials and Nanophotonics”.[11] He has also been awarded the Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship (2000);[12] Senior Research Professorship of the EPSRC (2002); and The Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award & Fellowship (2009). He is a Fellow of the European Physical Society (EPS),[13] The Optical Society (OSA)[14] and The Institute of Physics (IOP). He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2018.[15]
