Alexandra Boltasseva's research centers on nanophotonics and plasmonics, which studies how light interacts with metals and other engineered materials at the nanoscale. Her work explores new material platforms—such as conducting oxides, metal nitrides, and MXenes—for controlling and manipulating light, along with metamaterials and metasurfaces (artificially structured materials with properties not found in nature) and the use of machine learning to help design photonic devices. She also engages in quantum education initiatives and topics related to superconducting thin films.
