Research Fields:
We study the interactions of light and matter at the nanometer scale. By using the near-field optics and novel nano technologies we are able to explore the near-field optics and nano photonics of plasmonic metamatrials beyond the optical diffraction limit. Our current research topics are applications of near-field optics, plasmonics and metamaterials on the bio-medical, energy, environmental and better life applications.
