RESERCH INTERESTS

  • Electromagnetic properties of nano-structured complex media including: metal composites, rough surfaces, fractal aggregates, and ordered media
  • Solid state and condensed matter physics: geometrical phase transitions, scaling theory, classical and quantum wave localization
  • Nanophotonics and quantum optics, nonlinear optics and spectroscopy, quantum dots, nanoscopic lasers and optical elements
  • Artificial materials: metamaterials and negative index media, electric and magnetic plasmons, electromagnetic cloacking
  • Massively parallel numerical calculations in electromagnetism ( For more information about the available 85TFLOP supercomputer facilities refer to the LONI Institute web page).

 

 

 

 

 

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS

I am looking for determined PhD students who seek to pursue cutting edge research in a rapidly developing field of nano-scale metamaterials. Computer and analytical skills are required as well as strong background in Physics or Electrical Engineering.

 		 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

Our paper on Negative Index Metamaterials, published in the September 2008 issue of Nature magazine, has been featured on CNN news, The New York Times "Surpassing Nature, Scientists Bend Light Backward" , BBC News "Invisibility cloak 'step closer'" , The Los Angeles Times "Now you see it, now you don't", and many other top news agencies worldwide

The matter wave cloacking was highlighted in the March issue of Physics Today (2008).

Our paper on the first subwavelength discrete solitons published in PRL was highlighted by Nature Photonics (2007)
