Research & Publications
NON-LINEAR OPTICS & PHOTONICS — Rao Group
Experimental laser physics: nonlinear optics; medical image processing; nano- and bio-photonics; optical data storage; optical power limiting & laser eye protection.
CONDENSED MATTER & MATERIALS — Arnason Group
Electronic properties of new materials, focussing on ways in which structure and the quantum mechanical corrections to the semiclassical theory of conduction modify the behavior of electrons.
BIOMEDICAL IMAGING & SENSING — Yelleswarapu Group
Applications of fiber Bragg gratings for optical biosensing and biomedical imaging, and development of advanced optical microscopes/nanoscopes for investigating live cell dynamics.

Cold atomic gases; quantum non-equilibrium dynamics; integrable systems; chaos in classical fields; scattering in restricted geometries.
QUANTUM NON-LINEAR DYNAMICS — Sundaram Group
Quantum and classical chaos, the quantum-to-classical transition, and the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates.
QUANTUM MEASUREMENT & CONTROL — Jacobs Group
Quantum measurement theory, quantum feedback control, the quantum-to-classical transition, and applications in nano-electro- mechanical systems.
