Professor RENAT LETFULLIN

The KurzweilAI.net article Laser-induced explosion of gold nanoparticles: potential role for nanophotothermolysis of cancer said
Researchers have used laser-induced explosion of absorbing nanoparticles in selective nanophotothermolysis of cancer.
 
This is realized through fast overheating of a strongly absorbing target during a short laser pulse. The resulting explosion of nanoparticles may be accompanied by optical plasma and shock waves with supersonic expansion and particle fragmentation with fragments of high kinetic energy. These can contribute to the killing of cancer cells.
 Dr. Renat R. Letfullin was one of these nanoparticle researchers and is Associate Professor, Department of Physics and Optical Engineering, at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. His research interests include Biophotonics, Nano-medicine, Nano-optics, Diffractive Optics, Laser Physics, Laser/Matter Interactions, Aerosol Physics, Wave electrodynamics of lasers and amplifiers, Cavity Optics, Wave Diffraction, and Nonlinear Optics.
