Optical Metamaterials for Sustainability

ABSTRACT

Micro/nanostructured materials offer significantly new opportunities for high-efficiency devices and systems for energy harvesting, conversion and storage. There is, however, a tremendous gap between the proof-of-principle demonstrations at the small scale and the intrinsically large-scale real-world energy systems and sustainable applications. In this talk, I will give an overview of our research and, more specifically, present our recent development on how structured photonic materials address the challenge of the tremendous power hungry for space cooling, promote photosynthesis and crop yield in greenhouses, and beyond.

微纳结构材料为高效能源采集、转换与存储设备及系统提供了全新的重要机遇。然而，小尺度的原理验证与本质上属于大规模的现实能源系统及可持续应用之间，存在着巨大的鸿沟。在本次报告中，我将概述我们的研究工作，并重点介绍我们在结构化光子材料方面的最新进展——这些材料如何应对空间制冷的巨大能耗挑战、如何促进温室大棚中的光合作用与农作物产量提升，以及其他相关前沿探索。

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Xiaobo Yin received his PhD from Stanford University in 2008 and is currently a Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Professor of Physics at the University of Hong Kong. He is a fellow of OSA and SPIE. Prior to joining the University of Hong Kong, he was the Bruce S. Anderson Faculty Fellow of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on nanostructured optical materials, radiative heat transfer, high-temperature materials, and scalable manufacturing. He authored and co-authored more than 100 journal publications and is one of the most highly cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics. His works have been featured in numerous media outlets including Nature, Science, Physics Today, Scientific American, the Economists, and Forbes. He was a recipient of the 2015 DARPA Young Faculty Award, the 2017 Moore Inventor Fellowships, the 2017 Kavli Foundation Early Career Lectureship of Materials Science, and the 2022 Xplorer Prize. His recent work on passive radiative cooling was named one of the top 10 breakthroughs of the year 2017 by the Institute of Physics (IOP) Physics World and the top 10 most reviewed news by The Economists.

尹晓波博士于2008年获得斯坦福大学博士学位，现任香港大学机械工程系讲席教授及物理系教授，同时担任美国光学学会（OSA）及国际光学与光子学学会（SPIE）会士。加入香港大学之前，他曾任科罗拉多大学博尔德分校工程与应用科学学院Bruce S. Anderson教职学者。其研究方向涵盖纳米结构光学材料、辐射传热、高温材料及可扩展制造技术。他已发表和合著逾百篇期刊论文，并被科睿唯安（Clarivate Analytics）评选为全球高被引研究人员之一。其研究成果被《自然》、《科学》、《今日物理》、《科学美国人》、《经济学人》及《福布斯》等众多主流媒体广泛报道。他曾荣获2015年DARPA青年教职奖、2017年摩尔发明家奖学金、2017年卡弗里基金会材料科学早期职业讲席奖以及2022年新基石研究奖（探索奖）。其近期在被动辐射冷却领域的研究成果被英国物理学会（IOP）旗下《物理世界》杂志评为2017年度十大科学突破之一，并入选《经济学人》年度十大最受关注新闻。
