Research summary
AI-generated

Farid Kalhor's research is in materials science with a focus on nanophotonics and optics, including how light interacts with tiny structures, quantum sensing using single spin-based sensors (a technique to detect very small magnetic or optical signals at the atomic scale), and the optical properties of magneto-optic materials (materials whose optical behavior changes in a magnetic field). This work often bridges theoretical/computational modeling with experimental optical measurement techniques. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning optics, quantum sensing, and computational materials characterization.

Publication output over the last decade has been irregular, with gaps in some years (e.g., 2019, 2020, 2023) interspersed with higher-output years (e.g., 2021, 2025), suggesting a fluctuating rather than steadily growing or declining pace.
