Biography

Anthony Hoffman’s research focuses on developing new optical materials and devices that harness novel light-matter interactions across the electromagnetic spectrum. His lab, Notre Dame Nanophotonics, engineers novel materials and devices with customized optical, electrical and quantum properties. The materials and devices the group creates have broad applications from imaging and sensing, high-speed communication, and security.

Hoffman earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton University, where he worked on mid-infrared semiconductor lasers and optical metamaterials. He later served as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton, focusing on superconducting qubits coupled to superconducting resonators.

Hoffman, who joined the Notre Dame faculty in 2012, serves as associate chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and director of graduate studies.
