Research Interest
Manu’s lab on Terahertz Micro-Nanophotonic Technologies (TMNT) at IAP, IISc is primarily interested in investigating the ‘terahertz light-matter interactions’ at the ‘nanoscale’ to instigate and drive the new realm of ‘terahertz nanotechnology’.
Some of the current research interests are,
- Terahertz spintronics
- Terahertz/optical pump and terahertz probe measurements of novel materials
- Terahertz ultrastrong/deepstrong polaritonics
- Reconfigurable terahertz photonics
- Cavity driven materials
