Behnam Kheyraddini Mousavi

Throughout my professional experience, I have demonstrated my expertise in conducting research, designing, and fabricating nanostructures, and working closely with interdisciplinary teams. As a research assistant at the University of New Mexico, I worked on numerous projects, including the development of scattering-free nanostructures for high-power lasers, infrared cameras, and solar cells. I have also held positions as an assistant professor and voluntary researcher, honing my skills in teaching and conducting research in nanomaterials, and light energy interaction with them.

My research projects cover a wide range of topics, such as designing and testing Raman and plasmonic nano-sensors, coupling optical cavities with plasmonic nanostructures, and developing bio-inspired anti-reflection nanostructures.
