Research summary
AI-generated

Alexandra Boltasseva's research focuses on engineering light at the nanoscale, working with materials and structures that manipulate optical and quantum properties in novel ways. Her work sits at the intersection of photonics (light-based technologies), plasmonics (light interacting with metals at tiny scales), metamaterials (engineered materials with unusual optical properties), and quantum information science. This research area is relevant to developing new kinds of optical devices, sensors, and quantum technologies.
