My research is in the general framework of theory, modeling and engineering of wave structure interactions. I started my career working in the field of optics and then in those microwave and, more recently, mechanical waves.
An important part of his research activities concerns theory and modeling for nanophotonics through work on photonic crystals, plasmonics and metamaterials. Metamaterials, whose "perfect lens" and invisibility are applications that have been widely commented on, have become increasingly important and are today the focus of my activities.
I created in 2014 an International Joint Laboratory on nanophotonics and metamaterials, “Associated Laboratory for Photonics in France and Australia” (ALPHFA), between CNRS and CUDOS in Australia. I was director of ALPHFA between 2014 and 2018.
