Research summary
AI-generated

Alexander V. Kildishev's research centers on nanophotonics and metamaterials—engineered materials and surfaces that manipulate light, sound, and electromagnetic waves in unconventional ways. Recent work spans acoustic metasurfaces, time-varying and time-crystal photonic systems, quantum emitter modeling, and the use of machine learning and inverse design to develop new photonic and acoustic devices. This group works at the intersection of applied physics and engineering, combining theoretical modeling, computational simulation, and data-driven design tools.
