Research
Research in the lab runs under the Q-PACERS framework:
Quantum, Photonic, Antenna,
Computing, Embedded and
Renewable-energy Systems.
The six areas share methods and people rather than running separately — photonic device design feeds the quantum work, the computing and AI work supports photonic and metasurface design, and the embedded and renewable-energy work turns those designs into hardware. Each area page lists its own publications.
