Theoretical Nanophotonics at Rice University



https://sites.google.com/site/nordlanderresearchgroup/home/DSC_0744.jpg

We are a theoretical group performing research in the field of nanophotonics and plasmonics. We use a wide range of numerical methods (FDTD, FEM, BEM, DDA, Mie, TDDFT) to investigate the optical properties of metallic, semiconductor, and graphene nanostructures, plasmonic, excitonic, and hybrid systems.
