Viola D. Hank Collegiate Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

Professor Kinzel’s research interests are centered on laser/material interaction with a focus on manufacturing/fabrication as well as sensing and energy harvesting.

Projects in his research group include:

• additive manufacturing of glass for optics/photonics
• scalable fabrication of metasurfaces/IR antennas for the control of thermal radiation
• design of metasurface enabled uncooled IR microbolometers
• implementing spectrometry/radiometry for microstructure control in metal selective laser melting
