Research summary
AI-generated

Amgad Abdrabou's research focuses on the mathematical physics and modeling of light in structured optical and photonic systems, particularly periodic waveguides, dielectric slabs, and arrays of cylinders. Much of the work centers on special wave phenomena such as bound states in the continuum (light trapped inside a structure without leaking out) and exceptional points (special conditions where two wave modes become identical), alongside numerical methods for simulating optical devices. This research combines theoretical physics with computational techniques to understand how light behaves in engineered periodic materials.

Publication output has been modest and somewhat irregular over the last decade, with a peak around 2018-2020 followed by a slower, intermittent pace in recent years.
