Eric Mazur Balkanski is a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University, specializing in optical physics and nanophotonics. His research focuses on the development and application of femtosecond laser technology for micromachining and microstructuring of transparent materials. He has explored the fabrication of subwavelength-diameter silica and silicon waveguides for low-loss optical guiding, as well as three-dimensional optical storage in transparent media. His work also includes the study of laser-induced breakdown and damage in bulk materials, and the use of ultrafast lasers for processing and modifying materials at the microscale. Mazur Balkanski's contributions span both fundamental research and practical applications in nanophotonics and optical engineering.
