Gururaj V. Naik works in engineering, focusing on nanophotonics and metamaterials—engineered materials that control light in unusual ways. His recent work spans plasmonics (light-matter interactions at metal surfaces), thermal emitters for energy harvesting, non-Hermitian optics (systems with gain/loss that produce special sensing properties), and novel optical materials like metasurfaces and quantum materials for sensing and imaging applications.
