PNP
Research Group

Welcome to the PNP research group.

Plasmonics and Nano-Photonics (PNP) Research Group, led by Dr. Mohammad Bagher Heydari, studies the fundamental aspects of light-matter interaction at the nano-scale andnew optical phenomena. We are a team of enthusiastic scientists at Imam Khomeini International University (IKIU) in Iran, working on plasmonics, the optics of metallic and two-dimensional materials such as graphene. We are interested in modeling the physical world in mathematical terms and this is reflected in the research carried out in the PNP Group.
Please feel free to contact us to exchange thoughts and share dreams.
