I am interested in how nanophotonic systems can be used to control light-matter interaction between many coupled emitters. By exploring collective effects such as super- and sub-radiance, I aim to generate complex entangled states for practical applications. I am particularly fascinated by how these novel light sources can be used in imaging applications to drive improvements in resolution and sensitivity beyond the diffraction limit and shot-noise limit.
