Nonlocal Electrodynamics Group

Four men in a meeting or study discussion, focused on documents and a book labeled "KVANT," with one blurred person in the background.
Our research on nonlocal electrodynamics studies nanoscale electromagnetic response beyond classical local descriptions due to spatial dispersion and quantum effects. 

We develop theoretical models for charge dynamics and optical response in metals and low-dimensional materials, including nonlocal plasmonic resonances and quantum-corrected boundary conditions, enabling predictive descriptions of subwavelength light–matter interactions relevant to advanced experiments and nanoscale photonic and plasmonic technologies.

  • In POLIMA, we dream of discovering new phenomena that we do not yet know the contours of.
