Morgan Foley

Morgan Foley is a Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), affiliated with the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy. Their research focuses on nanophotonics, metasurfaces, and wavefront manipulation, with applications in optical imaging, communication, and computation.

Research interests include the design of high-performance metasurfaces, such as dynamically tunable transmissive structures for beam steering and higher-order Mie-resonant phenomena. Foley also explores novel materials like amorphous silicon carbide for optical gratings and investigates organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies through carbene metal amide photoemitters, aiming to achieve full-color-range emissions including white light. This work bridges fundamental optical principles with practical adaptive systems.

Recent articles highlight advancements in ferroelectric nanophotonics, high-Q resonant metasurfaces, and universal metasurface applications across multiple domains. The 2025 study introduces electro-optically active metasurfaces, while 2024 works emphasize dielectric materials and wavefront engineering. Earlier papers (2022-2020) address spectral reflectors and OLED material innovations.
