His research team focuses on plasmonic and metamaterial devices and structures, nanotechnology, and semiconductor-based material systems for the mid-IR wavelength range. Prof. Wasserman received his Sc.B. in 1998 from Brown University in Engineering/Physics (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with Honors). He received his PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University in 2004. At Princeton, Dr. Wasserman was a Francis Upton Fellow and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow. Dr. Wasserman's post-doc, as a Princeton University Council on Science and Technology Fellow, focused on quantum cascade laser physics in the Gmachl group at Princeton University. Dr. Wasserman is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award, an AFOSR Young Investigator Award, and the 2010 Excellence in Teaching Award from the UMass Lowell Physics Department. Source
