O.S. Ojambati

O.S. Ojambati serves as a tenure track assistant professor at the University of Twente within the Faculty of Science and Technology, specifically in the Department of Applied Nanophotonics. He leads the Dynamic Nanophotonics research team hosted by the Optical Sciences chair and maintains affiliations with the MESA+ Institute, Adaptieve Quantum Optica group, and Applied NanoPhotonics division.

His academic credentials include a PhD (cum laude, 2016) from the University of Twente focused on optical energy density control in nanophotonic systems via wavefront shaping, a master's degree in photonics from the Abbe School of Photonics at the University of Jena, Germany, and a bachelor's degree in physics/electronics from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria.

Dr. Ojambati's research pioneers plasmonic nanocavities to enhance light-matter interactions with bio-molecules, developing novel nanoscale optical field techniques for ultrasensitive biosensing and real-time molecular dynamics probing. His work bridges fundamental nanophotonics with practical biomedical applications through advanced optical energy manipulation.

His scientific recognition includes:

• NWO Rubicon fellowship funding his postdoctoral research (2017-2020) at the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory NanoPhotonic Center

As principal investigator of the Dynamic Nanophotonics team, he directs cutting-edge experimental work on ultrasmall mode volume plasmonic systems. His current research expands on Cambridge-era investigations to develop next-generation sensing platforms while exploring quantum-classical interfaces in bio-nanophotonic systems.
