We study the fundamental processes governing light emission and detection at the nanoscale, focusing on low-dimensional materials such as quantum dots and nanowires. By analyzing charge carrier generation, transport, and recombination dynamics across broad spectral and temporal ranges, we aim to enhance the performance and integration of nanoscale optoelectronic devices.

We develop engineered electromagnetic metamaterials with optical properties that transcend those found in nature. By leveraging unconventional material platforms — including hybrid perovskites, phase-change chalcogenides, and topological insulators, we unlock new ways to control light. Through hybridization and nanoscale structuring, we design functional metamaterials with unique electronic, optical, and magnetic characteristics, enabling dynamic reconfiguration, spectral tunability, and the exploration of novel electron and quasiparticle interactions.

We explore the photophysical properties of organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrids, focusing on charge carrier dynamics, polaron formation, and interfacial charge transfer. By studying materials such as perovskites, conjugated polymers, and molecular crystals, we uncover how structural modifications and interfacial engineering shape their optical and electronic properties. These insights drive the development of next-generation optoelectronic devices, from light-emitting transistors to high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.

We design photonic architectures for optical computing and communication. Our work includes neural network-enhanced imaging through multimode fibers and the exploration of quantum applications in fiber networks. By utilizing waveguides and optical circuits, we develop platforms capable of solving complex computational problems and implementing optimization algorithms entirely through optical methods.
