Research

The main focus of our research is nanophotonics: the study of the interaction of light with extremely small structures, with dimensions in the order of 100 nm (one can place about 1’000 such nanostructures across the diameter of a human hair!). When both the light wavelength and the structures have the same dimensions, very interesting and sometimes peculiar effects occur.

We pursue a comprehensive research that includes the modeling of physical effects, nanofabrication and experiments; discover their different facets below!
