Considering our interests, research topics are diverse within the members of this small group. Noting the ‘re’ in research, we like to retest, simplify and generalize known science to unsolved problems.
Methods for Numerical Computation & Estimation:
Advances in numerical methods have contributed to computing power as much as the
developments in hardware resources over the last few decades. Our interests are
computational methods, analysis and algorithms. Recent results include analysis of polynomial
recurrence relations and fast computing methods for eigenvalue problems, methods
of sampling and estimation that can substitute Markov-

Applied Optics & Computation:
In the past, we have used models to develop composite nanoparticles and nanostructures that have counterintuitive but useful properties. We have studied absorption, chiral and directional scattering properties of nanostructures with applications in mind. These works involved active experimentation in collaboration with experimental groups inside campus and with our industrial partners.
There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
