Junshan Lin, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation, or NSF, award for $221,487 to research mathematical studies of plasmonic nanohole resonances. The research proposal, “Imaging and Sensing via Plasmonic Nanohole Resonances: Quantitative Analysis and Numerical Inversion,” will begin in September 2020 and finish in August 2023.

As the principal investor, Lin will conduct his research at Auburn to address key scientific challenges in the mathematical investigation of plasmonic resonances and their applications in imaging and sensing. His goal will be to find mathematic and computational solutions to improve biochemical sensors and imaging techniques, which rely on plasmonic hole resonances.
