Research Summary

The Tang Lab conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of nanophotonics, optical instrumentation, and device engineering, with a focus on metamaterials, quantum materials, and MEMS-enabled platforms. We develop innovative approaches to in situ tuning of mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of metamaterials and thin films, enabling hyper-reconfigurable light sources, strong light–matter interactions, and meta-optic sensors and modulators. Work combines nonlinear and quantum optics, integrated photonics, and nanofabrication to advance next-generation photonic technologies.
