Kevin Mcpeak Email and Phone Number

Prof. McPeak received his B.S. from Northwestern University, Ph.D. from Drexel University with Jason B. Baxter, and postdoc at ETH Zurich with David J. Norris. He is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award and the LSU Rising Early Career Researcher.Research in the McPeak Lab at Louisiana State University focuses on engineering optical materials and understanding their fundamental light-matter interactions. We work to apply these engineered metastructures to meet the environmental, biological and security challenges of the 21st century. We leverage fundamental chemical engineering principles buoyed by a deep understanding of materials science and nano-optics to tackle challenging problems. Our work has applications in diverse fields such as biosensing, water treatment, and photo-detection.
