About
Tanner A. Wilcoxson is a rising researcher in the field of plasmonic nanomaterials, with a focus on understanding and harnessing photothermal energy conversion at the nanoscale. His work centers on metal oxide nanocrystals, particularly tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), which can efficiently transduce infrared light into heat—a capability with transformative potential in catalysis, photothermal therapeutics, and soft robotics. In his most cited study, Wilcoxson meticulously maps the photothermal heat generation and dissipation pathways in oleate-capped ITO nanocrystals dispersed in toluene, providing critical insights into how these nanoparticles generate and transfer heat to their surrounding environment. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered early citations, signaling its foundational importance to the field. By elucidating the dynamics of heat transfer from plasmonic nanocrystals, Wilcoxson is laying the groundwork for more efficient and controllable photothermal systems. His research represents a vital step toward integrating these nanomaterials into real-world applications, from targeted cancer therapies to light-driven microactuators, and marks him as a promising voice in nanoscale thermal engineering.
