We are a theoretical group conducting research in the exciting field of Nanophotonics and Plasmonics. Using electrodynamic calculations and a large variety of computational methods (such as FDTD, DDA, BEM, FEM, and Mie theory), we aim at investigating, designing, and understanding the optical properties of plasmonic-based, and nanophotonic systems. Our expertise goes from the modeling of electron energy-loss (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL), optical, and surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectroscopies to the investigation of coupling mechanisms between elementary excitations (such as plasmon-exciton, plasmon-phonon, magneto-plasmon...) in hybrid nanostructures.

May 8 - Fellowship
Congratulations to Mariano Alcalde who has been selected for a very competitive Open Quantum Initiative Fellowship.
Mariano will spend the Summer at Purdue University to do some theoretical research on Bose-Einstein Condensates.
