The possibility to control the light flow in structures with dimensions at the nano-scale opened exciting possibilities both at fundamental research level and for applications in communications, sensors, and computing.
We are in particular interested in exploiting nanotechnologies to push forward photonic knowledge by developing innovative integrated devices and circuits as well as optical metasurfaces. Our research includes a wide range of activities, including device and materials modelling both at fundamental and circuit level, novel design methodologies based on machine learning and optimization, new circuit architectures, gratings, metamaterials, and metasurfaces.
