RESEARCH INTERESTS

Development of a theoretical understanding of the wave propagation in complex media, such as photonic crystals, left-handed materials, random lasers, random magnetic systems, nonlinear systems, and amorphous semiconductors. The theoretical models developed are often quite sophisticated to accurately reflect the complexity of real materials.
