Andrea Alù (born in Rome, Italy, September 27, 1978) is the founding director of the Photonics Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, Einstein Professor of Physics at the CUNY Graduate Center,[1] and Professor of Electrical Engineering at The City College of New York. Previously he was the Temple Foundation Endowed professor at the University of Texas at Austin.[2][3] Alù is a significant contributor to the field of novel or advanced materials research. [4][2][5][3]

He has authored over 200 journal papers, 15 book chapters, 270 conference papers, and is attributed with over 29,000 citations, which includes some published research that has been cited by over 100 and over 200 others. Professionally, he is currently a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (since 2003), IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (2003), IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (2003), IEEE Communications Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2019),[6] and a senior fellow of the Optical Society of America (2014).[7]

He is currently an editor for the peer reviewed journal Metamaterials, and is an active (international) peer reviewer for 50 scientific journals, nine funding agencies, and engaged by the editorial offices of Wiley, IEEE Press, Cambridge University Press, CRC Press, and Prentice Hall. Some of the scientific journals for which he peer reviews are Nature, Science, Physical Review journals (A,B,E, Letters), and includes journals produced by the American Chemical Society, the Optical Society of America, IEEE, IOP Science and others.[3][8][9]

He is also co-inventor of three inventions in various stages of the patent process which are novel waveguides, scattering devices, optical circuits, optical circuit elements, and a cloaked sensor device.[10][11][12]

Career biography

From January 2009 to January 2018 Alù was an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He did his postdoctoral research under Professor Nader Engheta at the Fields and Waves Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania. He received his Ph.D. of biomedical electronics, electromagnetics and telecommunications from the Roma Tre University, in 2007. Since March 2014, Alù has been on the Board of Scientific Advisors at Metamaterial Technologies Inc., an international optical nano-composites company (www.metamaterial.com).[13] In January 2018, Alù became the founding director of the Advanced Science Research Center’s (ASRC) Photonics Initiative and Einstein Professor of Physics at the Graduate Center, CUNY.[1]

Awards & Honors

He has received over 25 professional honors and scientific awards.[citation needed]
