My Research Affiliations

• Centre for NEMS and Nanophotonics (CNNP), IIT Madras - Where we usually mooch off fabrication resources
• Experimental Optics Laboratory (ExpO Lab), IIT Madras - Where we characterize structures fabricated in CNNP

Interests

• Surface Plasmon Polaritons and devices based on them
• Micro and Nanoscale optical devices
• Metamaterials
• Development of simple fabrication techniques
• Usually, my students design, fabricate and characterize the devices going through the entire cycle several times for their theses.
