riccardo.sapienza@icfo.es
I am interested in the study of the effects of wave interference in light propagation and generation on the nanoscale.
I am fascinated by the complexity emerging from optical fields localized at nanoscopic sources to macroscopic systems. This is the framework of my research on single-molecule fluorescence, plasmonic antennas, unconventional lasing and light localization.
