Research

My current reseach is largely emphasized on designing and study of light coupling with nanoscale, semiconductors with direct application in novel, high speed processors and sensors. Research interests include: Semiconductor Plasmonics, Novel Plasmonic based optoelectronic devices, Semiconductor Optics and Photonics, Plasmonic interconnects, Plasmon enhanced Light Matter Interactions and Finite element Multiphysics modeling with applications in Computational Electrodynamics.
