Research Areas
Microwave diffraction and characterization of materials


My recent research has been concerned with photo-injected solid state plasmas in semiconductors to manipulate millimeter waves in solids and on the characterization of superconductors with microwaves. The photo-injected plasmas in semiconductors work led to the development of an optically controlled antenna which can form and steer millimeter wave beams non-mechanically. I have also conducted research on photonic band gap materials in the millimeter wave band and am now working on the development of a laser-scanned microwave-spectrometer to characterize superconducting thin films.
