I work on engineering thermal emission and terahertz light. My work combines the physics of 2D materials, metamaterials, and bioinspired structures with topological design to unlock new ways of controlling the light. I’m particularly interested in building photonic platforms and devices with practical applications such as topological optoelectronics and thermal management for radiative cooling and thermal camouflage. 

Currently I have one open PhD postion in my group on topological control of infrared and terahertz light. Application deadline is February 28th, 2026. Apply here. This position is open for both home and international students, fully funded and more details are on the application link or contact me for informal queries.

There is also another PhD position as I am the external co-supervisor based in University of Exeter. The topic: “Developing sustainable, scalable methods for fabricating 2D material metasurfaces via Chladni-patterned acoustic self-assembly”. with Dr Ievgeniia Kovalska as main supervisor. Project details available on this link.
