Primary activity: Nonlinear Optics: areas of interest include soliton propagation sustained by second and third order nonlinear effects, harmonic generation and frequency conversion in periodic structures.
Nanophotonics and optical antennas: areas of interest include novel  photonic crystal based devices for  telecommunications and sensing applications, negative index materials, optical nanowires, optics of metals, computational electromagnetism.
Graphene photonics: areas of interest include the modelling of integrated optical circuits where silicon photonics could take advantage of the remarkable (and tunable) linear and nonlinear properties of graphene at optical frequencies.

Main experiences acquired: Nonlinear optics. Nanophotonics. Optics in bidimensional materials. Computational electromagnetism.
