Learn. Experiment. Discover with Light!
Nanophotonics: We study light–matter interactions in nanomaterials, metamaterials, and beyond — with potential applications in imaging, renewable energy, and optical communications.
Biophotonics: We use Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscope for imaging intraflagellar transport (IFT) in live cells.
