Research

The Centre for Plasmonics & Metamaterials is a cross-faculty grouping at Imperial College London covering a broad range of research in plasmonics and metamaterials. We are working on both fundamental research, through theory and proof-of-concept experimental studies, and on application-oriented work towards highly disruptive technologies for energy, communication and computing, as well as healthcare.

Research areas

Nanoplasmonics and Nanophotonics

Nanoplasmonics marries photonics with nanotechnology, investigating the localisation of light and light/matter interactions on the nanoscale.

Find out more

Unified theory for Metamaterials

Creating unified analytical, numerical and experimental approaches to the novel design of Metamaterials.

Find out more

Multiscale and multi-dimensional simulation

An exciting set of numerical challenges, driven by Metamaterials, revolve around accurately simulating high frequency, short wavelength, waves interacting with, possibly thousands of, tiny defects.

Research areas

New mathematics

The development of new analytical and computational techniques for the study of direct and inverse problems for multiscale media with periodic or random microstructure.
