Rate My Professor Robert Magnusson

Professor Magnusson's research specializes in periodic nanostructures, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanoplasmonics, and optical bio- and chemical sensors. He has authored over 500 journal and conference papers and holds 40 patents. His highly cited works include 'Theory and applications of guided-mode resonance filters' (Applied Optics, 1993), 'New principle for optical filters' (Applied Physics Letters, 1992), 'Guided-mode resonances in planar dielectric-layer diffraction gratings' (Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 1990), 'Resonant leaky-mode spectral-band engineering and device applications' (Optics Express, 2004), and 'Reflection and transmission guided-mode resonance filters' (Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 1997). With over 16,500 citations on Google Scholar, his contributions have significantly influenced the fields of nanophotonics and optical sensors. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and SPIE, a Life Fellow of IEEE, and a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. Professor Magnusson co-founded Resonant Sensors Incorporated, where he serves as Chief Technical Officer, developing next-generation optical sensor systems for pharmaceutical and biotech applications.
