OverviewAI-generated summary
Brandon A. Kemp's research investigates the application of advanced analytic methods to electromagnetic wave theory, optical phenomena, and related technical areas. His work has explored the theoretical underpinnings of light-matter interactions, including the Abraham-Minkowski debate and the nature of radiation pressure on dielectric and magnetic media. He has also studied optical momentum transfer, particularly to absorbing Mie particles, and the reversal of wave momentum in left-handed media.
Kemp's research extends to practical applications of optical forces, such as stable optical trapping based on optical binding forces and the binding of multiple cylindrical particles in electromagnetic fields. His experience prior to academia includes product and technology development at Lexmark International, Inc., suggesting an interest in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering challenges. He holds the Verbeth and Henry Ezra Coe Professorship of Engineering at Arkansas State University, where he mentors students and contributes to the field through publications and an active lab website.
