Aleksandr Krasnok

Aleksandr Krasnok is an Assistant Professor at the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University (FIU). His research focuses on quantum materials, functional metadevices, quantum and optical sensors, wireless power transfer, and anomalies in light scattering. He holds a Ph.D. in Photonics and Quantum Optics from ITMO University (2013), an M.S. in Quantum Optics from Far Eastern Federal University (2010), and completed a postdoc in Photonics at the University of Texas at Austin (2018).

His work explores cutting-edge areas such as topological polaritons, embedded eigenstates, and non-Hermitian photonics. Key contributions include studies on localized magnetic plasmon skyrmions, van der Waals polaritons, and novel wireless power transfer mechanisms. Krasnok’s research bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, aiming to advance quantum sensors, optical metamaterials, and energy-efficient systems.

Recent projects include investigations into complex-frequency excitations, nonreciprocal scattering, and tunable phase-change metasurfaces. His work has been published in prestigious journals like Nature Communications, Nature, and Nature Nanotechnology. He collaborates with institutions worldwide and actively contributes to advancing nanophotonics and quantum engineering.
