Welcome to our group! We are with the Section of Condensed Matter Physics of the Department of Physics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). We pursue theoretical and computational research in the broader area of quantum condensed matter photonics, including nanophotonics, metamaterials, quantum optics, "slow-" and "fast-light" phenomena, invisibility cloaking, laser physics, (quantum) self-organized criticality, nonlinear optics, and computational electrodynamics. We aim at advancing, both, fundamental knowledge and, in collaboration with our international partners, conceiving practical applications in the above scientific fields by exploring advanced new optical, electromagnetic, magnetic / topological, acoustic and 2D materials and devices.
