Research Area: In our research work, we investigate the propagation of electromagnetic waves in layered media, photonic band gap materials, chiral media, metamaterials, acoustically perturbed optical materials, ferrites, plasmas, etc. Currently, we are investigating and modeling surface electromagnetic waves at the interface of homogeneous dielectric and plasma photonic crystals. We are also modeling effect of acoustic perturbation on photonic crystals. Applications of Photonic band gap materials as sensors, phase matching, etc are also being explored.
