Nanophononics, the control of vibrations, sound and heat at the nanoscale, is essential for the engineering of thermal transport in electronic devices and for the manipulation of mechanical resonators in their quantum regime. It is also a promising new route in quantum communications using phonons as carriers of information.
Our objective is to engineer opto-phononic systems to manipulate light, charge and sound at the nanoscale and their mutual interactions. We manipulate light-matter interactions in confined systems like microcavities, quantum dots, plasmonic and dielectric nanostructures in the classical and quantum regimes unveiling new physical phenomena and applications.
We are currently exploring the following research lines:
