We conduct research on graphene and 2D-materials as a viable alternative to conventional photonic, plasmonic and nanophotonic materials.

We envision graphene-based innovative technological applications in long-haul optical communications, inter- and intra-chip optical interconnects, wireless communications, security and surveillance applications, environmental monitoring, energy harvesting, and bio-sensing. Moreover, the combination of the nano-optical properties and the extraordinary mobility of graphene unveils new physics at the nanoscale and in the quantum regime, and opens new pathways for novel functionalities and applications.
