Povinelli Group

About us

Our group is affiliated with the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering in the Viterbi School of Engineering at University of Southern California.

Our research area is nanophotonics. Topics under investigation include optical properties of nanostructured materials such as photonic crystals, microresonators, and metamaterials and opto-nanomechanical devices.

Our interests include:

Identification and design of novel functionalities.
Theory and simulation, computational electromagnetics.
Device design, fabrication, and characterization.
