Our research interests fall within the broad area of optics and photonics, and mainly the nonlinear interactions of light with matter. Current research topics include integrated optoelectronic devices, and the generation of optical frequency combs and ultra-short pulses in nonlinear media. We study fundamental physical processes as well as their applications in different areas such as optical communications, metrology, spectroscopy, and medicine.

Recent research interests include:

• Generation of broadband frequency combs and ultra-short pulses (microcombs) in optical microresonators with third-order (Kerr) nonlinearity
• Self-synchronization phenomena in Kerr optical frequency combs and self-organization models for the nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) and the Lugiato-Lefever Equation (LLE)
• Novel techniques for the deterministic and reliable generation of ultra-short optical pulses in power-efficient, low-cost, small-footprint, integrated photonic platforms
• Dispersion engineering of optical high-Q microresonators for pulse shaping and broadband microcomb generation
• New techniques for the generation of ultra-stable optical frequency combs for optical-atomic clocks and spectrally pure RF signal generation
• Fast energy-efficient integrated optoelectronic modulators in CMOS-compatible platforms
