Research summary

Vladimir M. Shalaev works in the field of nanophotonics, which studies how light interacts with materials at very small (nanometer) scales. His recent work focuses on metamaterials and metasurfaces (engineered materials with tailored optical properties), plasmonics (using metals to concentrate and manipulate light), and emerging areas like time-varying photonic materials and quantum light sources. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning optical materials design, nonlinear optics, and computational/AI-assisted design of photonic devices.
