Welcome to my website!

I am an engineering research associate in the interdisciplinary Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory at Stanford University.

My research in the nanohotonics field focuses on the theoretical and experimental exploration of metal-based metamaterials and nanophotonic devices that enable efficient transport of light at the nano-scale for energy, information, and optical sensing applications. I perform this work in the research group of Professor Shanhui Fan.

I am also have my own researh group in field of solid-state image sensing. Following my doctoral work on the optics of image sensors in the research group of Professors Brian A. Wandell and Abbas El Gamal, I am particularly interested in light-matter interaction inside micron-size image sensor pixels and the consequences of fundamental light properties on performance as solid state image sensor technology scales.

I have published extensively on my research in both fields (>65 papers including 10 invited and 11 highly-cited) and presented my work at numerous international conferences (including >15 invited talks).

Enjoy your visit,

Dr. Peter B. Catrysse, Ph.D.
