Research summary
AI-generated

Samuel Peana works in engineering and applied physics, focusing on optics, photonics, and materials engineered at very small scales. His work spans laser-based surface modification (for example, texturing implant or membrane surfaces to add antimicrobial or sensing properties), computational modeling of light-material interactions in metamaterials and metasurfaces, and development of sensor and energy-related devices such as glucose sensors and piezoelectric films. This suggests a research group that combines experimental fabrication with computational electromagnetic modeling.
