Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to pioneer the fields of active and quantum nanoplasmonics and optical metamaterials with quantum gain, recognized with the Royal Society Rumford Medal. This honour places me in the company of illustrious scientists such as Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur, James Clerk Maxwell, and Gustaf Kirchhoff.
Generally my research bridges theoretical and computational quantum nanophotonics and metamaterials physics, collaboratively linked with experiments.
