American professor and academic
Kimani Christopher Toussaint, Jr. is an American engineer who is a professor and senior associate dean in the School of Engineering at Brown University .[1] [2] [3] Optica .
Early life and education [ edit ]
Toussaint is from Philadelphia .[4] [5] African American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania , where he met Anthony Garito, a professor who introduced him to optics and engineering.[5] [5] Boston University for his graduate research, where he specialized in electrical engineering. His doctoral research explored quantum ellipsometry of semiconductors.[6] Gates Millennium Fellowship , which supported his graduate program.[4]
Research and career [ edit ]
After his PhD, Toussaint was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago , where he worked on superresolution optical microscopy, optical tweezing of nanoparticles, and polarization control.[7] [8]
Toussaint was appointed to the faculty at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007.[citation needed His research exploits various properties of light, including angular momentum , linear momentum and other polarization degrees of freedom. He is interested in the realization of bioimaging techniques to better understand biological tissue and disease.[9] second-harmonic generation imaging with confocal microscopy and Mueller matrix polarimetry.[5] near-field optics .[5]
In 2014, Toussaint worked as a Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked with Peter So .[10] Brown University , and by 2020 he was made a Senior Associate Dean of the School of Engineering.[11] [12] [13] [14] National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center in Cellular Metamaterials.[11]
During the COVID-19 pandemic , it emerged that pulse oximeters were less effective on Black patients. This is because melanin absorbs light, making pulse oximeters overestimate the level of oxygen in a patient's blood.[15] [16] [15] [15] [17]
Awards and honors [ edit ]
Toussaint is a Fellow of SPIE [18] Optica .[5]
Selected publications [ edit ]
His publications[1] [2] [3]
Application of plasmonic bowtie nanoantenna arrays for optical trapping, stacking, and sorting [25]
The effect of keratoconus on the structural, mechanical, and optical properties of the corne [26]
Nonlinear optical response from arrays of Au bowtie nanoantennas [27]
