Tomer received the Rector's Prize for Scientific Innovation ! 

Shany received The Israeli Smart Transportation Research Center (ISTRC)   scholarship for PhD students!

2023

Sukanta (Invited presentation) and Shany (contributed presentation) are presenting our work in the upcoming Nanometa2024 conference at Seefeld, Austria January 3-6 2024 !

Sukanta's paper "Unveiling Local Optical Properties Using Nanoimaging Phase Mapping in High-Index Topological Insulator Bi2Se3 Resonant Nanostructures", has been published in Nano Letters.  It was also selected as a supplementary journal cover! (October)

Congrats to Vlad and Shany for winning the KLA-BINA scholarships ! Well done! (September)

Danveer's paper "Deep-subwavelength resonant meta-optics enabled by ultra-high index topological insulators", has been accepted for publication in Laser & Photonics Reviews ! (June)

Shany's paper "Temperature invariant metasurfaces", has ben published in Nanophotonics ! (June)

Figure 2: Design concept for temperature invariant nanophotonic components. Hybrid meta-atoms composed from two materials with opposite sign TO coefficients, exhibit temperature invariant response. In this work the positive TO material is Si (dn/dT > 0) while the negative TO material (dn/dT < 0) is PbTe. Hybrid Si/PbTe/Si resonators (middle resonator) can be engineered to exhibit temperature invariant performance manifested here by spectral overlap for two extreme temperatures.
