About Our Research

Our research focuses on understanding the optical and electronic properties of low-dimensional quantum materials to demonstrate size-dependent properties, optical control, and enhanced quantum phenomena. Using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopic techniques, I study the fundamental processes related to the relaxation and transport dynamics of electrons, phonons, and their interactions in a broad spectrum of frequencies ranging from UV to THz. We are also interested in investigating artificially engineered structures that enhance the light mater interactions and control the polarization, phase, and amplitude of THz electromagnetic radiation. The polaritonic systems for controlling and manipulating infrared light in sub-diffraction is a topic of interest as well.
