Doing Math at the Speed of Light | Nader Engheta | TEDxPenn

Professor Engheta’s talk explores the frontier of optical computing, tracing the evolution from the ENIAC to cutting-edge nanoscale devices. Highlighting the development of "Swiss Cheese metamaterials" and the application of optics in computing, he showcases innovations in light-based computational methods capable of solving mathematical equations at near-light speeds. Nader Engheta is the H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with affiliations in the Departments of Electrical and Systems Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, Bioengineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. He received his BS degree from the University of Tehran, and his MS and Ph.D. degrees from Caltech. His current research activities span a broad range of areas including optics, metamaterials, electrodynamics, microwaves, photonics, nano-optics, graphene photonics, imaging and sensing inspired by eyes of animal species, microwave and optical antennas, and physics and engineering of fields and waves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
