Biography:
Dr.
Ken Knappenberger is a Professor of Chemistry at Penn State University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Penn State in 2005
and was a Postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley from 2005-2008. His research interests focus on photonic
nanomaterials that offer great potential for using and controlling light. These
capabilities, which depend critically on nanomaterial structure, can be
leveraged to yield improvements in applications such as energy conversion,
quantum information, telecommunications, and medical diagnostics and
therapeutics, among others.
