OMAL: Magicians Of Light At The Nanoscale
Our research group focuses on addressing the theoretical and technological bottlenecks in generating, manipulating and understanding light at the micro/nanoscale. By grasping cutting-edge physical concepts and utilizing advanced materials in combination with advanced processing techniques, we aim to develop highly efficient, multifunctional micro/nanoscale electrooptical meta-devices to facilitate further development of optical displays, energy harvesting, and optical communications.More about our research>
Our diverse team spans physicists, material scientists and optoelectronic engineers. Together, we are not just exploring the future by unlocking the untapped potential of light ---We are building it!Join us>
