Lab Overview

Our research focuses on controlling light-matter interaction over diverse materials to solve challenges in optics and photonics. For this, we are particularly interested in (i) design and fabrication of optical structures that engineer the flow of light as well as strong coupling of light with materials, (ii) characterization of electrodynamics and optoelectronics properties in nanostructured materials, and (iii) development of next-generation devices for optics and photonics.
