Research Experience : The current tendency in optics&spectroscopy and its applications for bio-sensing indicates the critical importance of developing and applying advanced technologies that can take advantage of nano-scale photonic phenomena. One of the most efficient ways of controlling electric and magnetic field distributions on scales much smaller than the optical diffraction limit can be provided by excitation of collective electron oscillations in metal nanostructures, localized surface plasmons, and propagating surface plasmon waves, which provide an efficient coupling of light into sub-wavelength waveguides.

1. Dr.Drachev’s research has been focused on nanoplasmonics and its application for biosensing. It was started at Novosibirsk State University and Institute for Semiconductor Physics, Novosibirsk, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia, where he has led an experimental group. The project was aimed at the basic optical properties of metal nanoparticle aggregates with fractal dimensions.  This work led to the discovery of the nonlinear optical gyrotropy of fractal aggregates of Ag and the observation of polarization nonlinearities, such as the inverse Faraday effect, and the optical Kerr effect. The project involved synthesis of nanoparticle aggregates and fine nonlinear optical measurements using nanosecond lasers and polarization interferometry. 

2. In 1999 Vladimir Drachev was invited to continue his research at the Physics Department of New Mexico State University.  Dr. Drachev has conducted research on nonlinear spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and near-field scanning optical microscopy of  metal nanoparticle fractal aggregates. Dr. Drachev with colleagues have demonstrated large local optical activity of fractal Ag films detected with sub-wavelength resolution by near-field scanning optical microscopy. Another finding showed quantum size effect manifestation in discrete spectra of two photon excited luminescence from Ag nanoparticles.  Dr. Drachev training contributed in a successful career of the team members.  Nick Lepeshkin, Ph.D. 2001, now is an Assistant Professor at San Francisco State University, Department of Physics and Astronomy. Fedda Al-Zoubi, Ph.D. 2002, was an Assistant Professor of Optics and since 2007 he is an Associate Professor of Optics at Jordan University of Science and Technology, School of Science and Art, Department of Applied Physics.

3. Since 2002 Dr.Drachev has been working with Nanophotonics Lab at Purdue University. Dr. Drachev works as a leading scientist, co-principal investigator, or principal investigator on several research projects. Those projects imply team efforts and often inter-department or multi university research initiative.  Some examples are presented below.

3.1. Surface-Enhanced Optical Detection of Proteins (2002-2005). This exciting project was aimed at sensing of proteins using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).  Dr. Drachev, as a leading scientist on this project, guided Ph. D. students Mark Thoreson, Eldar Khaliullin, Vishal Nashine and M. S. student Tejal Goyani. Led by Dr. Drachev team in collaboration with Prof. Ben-Amotz group (PI, Department of Chemistry) and Prof. Davisson group (Pharmacy)  demonstrated tag free protein-protein binding detection, and the feasibility of using SERS to distinguish protein conformational states, which was shown for human insulin and its analog insulin lispro (J. Physical Chemistry 108, 18046-52 (2004), Langmuir 21,  8368 - 8373 (2005), J. of Raman Spectroscopy 36, special issue on SERS, 648-656 (2005), SPIE Proceedings 5703,  79-85, Plasmonics in Biology and Medicine II; (2005)).

3.2. Plasmonic Filters with Infrared Windows of Transparency (co-PI, 2005-2011). In this project unique properties of fractal metal films and their photomodification have been explored to create plasmonic filters for infrared spectral range. The core-shell nano-particles with plasmonic fractal shell are chemically synthesized. Ph. D. students Mark Thoreson, Piotr Nyga, and Vashista de-Silva were  involved in the team led by Dr. Drachev.

3.3. Engineered Multifunctional Nanophotonic Materials for Ultrafast Optical Switching (leading scientist, 2006-2011).

This multi-university research initiative is a collaborative project (PI Prof. E. Van Stryland) of University of Central Florida (CREOL), Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Arizona, and Purdue University (http://muri24.creol.ucf.edu). Dr. Drachev has served as a working leader of the Purdue University team and provided communications with the collaborators. The Purdue team involves Ph. D. students Josh Borneman, Piotr Nyga, and Kuo-Ping Chen. One of the main achievements of the team is a new plasmonic based nonlinear material for ultrafast optical switching.

3.4. Spectroscopic Ellipsometry of Optical Metamaterials (PI, 2009-2013).

Dr. Drachev is a principal investigator on this project. He leads a team, which combine efforts of Postdoctoral fellow David Lyvers and in collaboration with Dr. Alex Kildishev.

3.5. Optical Negative Index Metamaterials (leading scientist, 2003-2010). Dr. Drachev has managed and guided a group of Ph. D. students involved in experimental research on the project. The group includes Wenshan Cai, Hsiao-Kuan Yuan, Reuben Bakker, Ji-young Kim, and Shumin Xsiao. This research has resulted, in particular, in first experimental realization of negative index materials prototype for the optical range (down to 570 nm) and metamagnetics across the visible range. About 20 papers have been published. We fabricated the metamaterials using e-beam lithography and characterized it using optical spectroscopy and interferometry. State–of-the-art experiments were performed on metamaterials with compensated losses by a gain medium. A thin film of such a metamaterial has been developed, fabricated, and characterized with a femtosecond pump-probe system. The transmitted and reflected light intensity in such an active metamaterial exceed the incident light (Nature 466, 735-738 (2010)).

3.6. DNA-Gold Nanoparticle Networks Grown on Cell Surface Marker Sites: Application in Diagnostics of Cancer Stem Cells (leading scientist, 2009-2010).

 This project was done in collaboration with Prof. Irudayaraj (Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering). Identification of breast cancer stem cells (CSC) requires a multiplex detection of cell surface markers to distinguish a subpopulation of cancer cells, which can invade and proliferate at sites of metastasis. A new approach has been developed based on DNA- gold nanoparticle network structures as a multiplex probe for both surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. The network structures are well controlled and synthesized by DNA hybridization at specific cell surface sites. Two cell surface markers, CD44 and CD24, have been chosen for experiments with three breast cancer cell lines as significant indicators of the cancer stem cells in the case of a CD44+/CD24- subpopulation.  The results of phenotyping for three breast cancer cell lines nicely correspond to the literature data determined by flow cytometry (ACS Nano, 5 (3) 2109-2117 (2011)).

 

Teaching Experience: At Novosibirsk State University (Russia) Dr. Drachev taught a graduate level course “Optical measurements: spectroscopy” in 1997-1998. He also gained a uniquely rewarding teaching perspective through my involvement in the program called “Academic support for high school education”, where Dr. Drachev taught advanced physics courses for gifted high school students during 1992-1998 at one of the Novosibirsk high schools. These courses covered undergraduate level physics, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, molecular physics, and optics. For these teaching activities Dr. Drachev was awarded the prestigious prize for Excellence in Teaching by the International Science Foundation. The nomination and selection of the winners were performed by the vote of undergraduate students from the top sixty universities in the country. The students were asked to point out their favorite high school teachers in physics, math, biology, and chemistry.  Dr. Drachev received this prize twice, in 1997 and 1998.
