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.

Mar. 11 - Fellowship
Congratulations to Alex Ferere who has just been awarded a Fellowship from the Air Force Research Laboratory Repperger Research Intern Program. This fellowship will allow Alex to spend the Summer at AFRL, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, to work under Dr. Steven Cavazos on the Anatomical Finite Element Modeling of Laser Tissue Interactions.
Feb. 27 - Fellowship
Dr. Large has just been awarded a Fellowship from the Office of Naval Research's Summer Faculty Research Program for the second time. This fellowship will allow Dr. Large to spend the Summer in the Optical Science Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC to work on the modeling of the optical properties of periodic nanomaterials arrangements for infrared applications.
