Pioneering multipolar metasurfaces and tools for the scientific community
Assistant Professor Viktoriia Babicheva in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and her graduate students Vahid Karimi and Li Liu have developed new simulation tools for metasurfaces. Multipole-engineered metasurfaces developed in this area aim to control light through engineered resonances, opening pathways for next-generation nanophotonic devices and potentially for integration with quantum emitters.
Metasurfaces represent an emerging direction in optics and photonics, where the interaction of light with engineered nanostructures enables unusual scattering and confinement. They provide new opportunities for flat optical components, compact sensors, and light–matter coupling at the nanoscale.
