Mark Brongersma is a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, also holding a courtesy appointment in Applied Physics. He received his PhD in Materials Science from the FOM Institute in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1998. Following his PhD, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the California Institute of Technology from 1998 to 2001. Brongersma is known for coining the term 'Plasmonics,' focusing on new device technologies that exploit the unique optical properties of nanoscale metallic structures to manipulate light at the nanoscale. His current research is directed toward the development and physical analysis of nanostructured materials, with applications in nanoscale electronic and photonic devices. He has received several prestigious awards including the National Science Foundation Career Award and the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching, and he has been recognized as a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, SPIE, and the American Physical Society.
