S. Anantha Ramakrishna

Ph.D. (Raman Research Institute, Bangalore / JNU Delhi, 2001) PROFESSOR

Dr. S. Anantha Ramakrishna joined the department in 2003, and has broad interests in Optics and Condensed Matter Physics. During the past decade, he has been concentrating on metamaterials and plasmonic properties of metallic structures. He directs an active group of researchers carrying both theoretical and experimental work on metamaterials and plasmonic materials at visible to infra-red frequencies.
