Principal Investigator

I am an Assistant Professor at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, directing the NanoWireless Lab. My research sits at the intersection of nanotechnology, photonics, and wireless systems — developing the communication and sensing infrastructure for a world where electronics operate at the nanoscale and inside the human body.

My group works on three interconnected challenges: nanophotonic and plasmonic communications for ultra-fast on-chip and short-range links; wireless power transfer for minimally invasive implantable and wearable medical devices; and brain-machine interfaces that decode neural signals non-invasively for next-generation prosthetics and human-computer interaction.

Research Areas

Nanophotonics & Plasmonic Communication

We explore light and plasmons for ultra-fast, high-bandwidth communication at the nanoscale — overcoming the speed and integration limits of traditional electronics for on-chip and short-range optical links.

Nano-scale Optical Systems

Wireless Power Transfer for Implantables

Designing minimally invasive implantable devices powered wirelessly to enable long-term, continuous health monitoring and therapeutic applications without battery replacement surgery.

Wearable & Implantable Devices

Brain-Machine Interfaces

Developing novel wearable electronics and non-invasive neural interfaces that decode brain signals — paving the way for advanced prosthetics and new forms of human-computer interaction.

Neural Decoding & Prosthetics

Collaborations Welcome

Built for
those who
build early.

NanoWireless Lab is a young, intentionally small research group at SUNY Poly. We work closely with undergraduate and Master's students, giving them real research ownership — including co-authorship on publications. We are also actively building collaborations with PhD-granting institutions and industry partners in the region.
