Quantum Nanophotonics Group
Our research focuses on fundamental investigations of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale and on theoretical modeling of the optoelectronic properties of nanosystems. Our interests span a broad range of topics, including nanophotonics with atomically thin materials, quantum nanoplasmonics, polariton-enhanced phenomena, and electron–light–matter interactions. Beyond these fundamental studies, we aim to harness this knowledge to control light–matter interactions at the few-nanometer scale, paving the way for improved or entirely new optoelectronic devices.

Young physicist receives prestigious grant and returns to SDU
How do light and matter behave at the nanoscale? This is one of the key questions physicist P. André D. Gonçalves will investigate as he returns to the Faculty of Engineering at SDU, supported by a Villum Young Investigator grant of 9 million DKK.
