Nanophotonics simulation
This project concerns the advancing of models,
algorithms, and software in nanophotonics simulations. My main
contribution is handling software design issues and algorithm
implementation with the goal of making all codes publicly available to
the nanophotonics community, for easy composition of components into
different types of simulations.
My research focuses on adaptive mesh refinement techniques for the
finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for solving the
time-dependent Maxwell's equations. In particular, I am developing
- component interfaces for the AMR-enhanced FDTD method and other
solution techniques (2D and 3D)
- visualization support for AMR nanophotonics results (2D and 3D)
- a graphical user interface for designing and configuring
simulation of systems of metal nanoparticles (currently 2D)
