Research interests

  • Programmable photonic circuits using ultralow loss phase change materials.
  • Infrared metasurfaces for radiative cooling and defence applications.
  • Deep learning and AI enabled nanophotonic design.

Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Plants and Food Security

We study the response of plants to the environment at the molecular, whole plant and ecological levels. This includes interactions with nematodes, insects and microbes.

Quantum, Light and Matter Group

Studying nanoscale properties of matter and the applications in nanoscience and quantam technology.
