Research Experience

1. Proposed a diatomic metasurface that can completely control the phase and polarization states in a dispersionless way by exploiting the degrees of freedom of orientation and displacement between identical meta-atoms, experimentally demonstrated in visible-infrared frequencies.

2. Proposed a broadband metagrating hologram that can perform holographic imaging with extremely large incident angle that is close to grazing incidence, experimentally demonstrated in visible-infrared frequencies.

3. Proposed a simultaneously wide-angle broadband and high efficiency metasurface for wavefront shaping by a facile grating approach.

4. Designed and realized a trimetric Fano-resonant metasurface that can independently control the bright and dark modes with fullwave simulations and microwave experiments.
