His research interests are in the synthesis of nano-bio hybrid materials, electromagnetic metamaterials, and electronic devices, including terahertz waves.
“An extremely comprehensive and up-to-date survey of THz generation techniques and applications, including some very unusual and hard-to-find subjects that have not been presented before. Well worth having in your library, whether you are starting out in the field, or are already a well-established THz researcher.” Dr Peter H. Siegel California Institute of Technology, USA
