Amit Agrawal

Amit Agrawal is a CNST/UMD Postdoctoral Researcher in the CNST Nanofabrication Research Group. He received a B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunications from the Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University in India, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Utah. His graduate research work on terahertz plasmonic metamaterials and guided-wave devices was supported by the University of Utah Graduate Research Fellowship, IEEE/LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship and the D. J. Lovell Scholarship from SPIE. At the CNST, Amit is working with Henri Lezec on the development of measurement methods for studying the electromagnetic properties of plasmonic nanostructures for applications in switching and sensing.
