Zubin Jacob works on nanoscale light-matter interaction, including metamaterials, plasmonics (light interacting with metal surfaces), thermal radiation, and photonic devices. Recent work also extends into computational imaging and machine learning approaches for optical imaging through turbulence and low-light conditions. The lab produces a steady stream of publications and datasets, often with substantial supplementary computational and data-sharing components.
