Bio:

Roderick Davidson has been a research assistant professor at UAH since the Fall of 2023. Beforehand, he was the lead experimentalist for the Informatic Phenomena Lab at NRL. His background focuses on nonlinear optical studies of both bulk and nanostructured materials. He received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University for his work on the near field dynamics of nonlinear plasmonic materials.
