Dr. Guillaume Baffou - Thermoplasmonics: Heating Metal Nanoparticles Using Light

Abstract:
The use of plasmonic nanoparticles as nanosources of heat, remotely controlled by light, has received a growing interest over the last two decades, giving birth to the field of thermoplasmonics. The ability to release heat on the nanoscale has already impacted a broad range of research activities, from biomedicine to imaging and catalysis. Thermoplasmonics is now entering an important phase: some applications have engaged in an industrial stage, while others, originally full of promise, experience some difficulty to coming to an end. In the meanwhile, innovative fundamental areas of research are being developed. This presentation aims to depict the current research landscape in thermoplasmonics, with a specific focus on its applications and main challenges in many different fields of science.

Dear Sir, I am a student at the university of KU Leuven Belgium, doing a research on Plasmonic photothermal therapy ( PPTT ). I like your presentation and learnt a lot from it. Would it possible to read your publication and have access to your PowerPoint. This would help me a lot for my research thesis. Thank you in advance. Best
