Overview of scholarly research/creative activity: Our research interests are in the areas of nano-photonics, metamaterials, plasmonics, and electromagnetic theory. We design novel meta-structures that involve enhanced and function-based light-matter interaction phenomena with potential scientific and technological impact in computing, energy harvesting, and communications.
Specific projects working on: Recent and ongoing projects include: Metamaterial-based optical computing, near-field patterning metasurfaces, scattering anomalies of Non-Hermitian particles, and establishing fundamental bounds on the performance of metasurfaces. Near future projects include: Design of advanced optical components using machine learning, next-generation antennas for low-noise, efficient communication, topological metamaterials, and multi-layer and three-dimensional metamaterials for dispersion and polarization control.
