Research in Vinod Menon's group can best be summarized as the exploration of light-matter interactions at the nano and micro scale.

The M.S. Program in Nanoscience is ideal for students who want to enter the workforce in nanoscience and its related energy, biomedical, electronics, telecommunications, and materials science fields, as well as for students who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in preparation for doctoral programs in chemistry, physics or materials science.

The group's research interests span over a broad range of technical areas, including applied electromagnetics, nano-optics and nanophotonics, microwave, THz, infrared, optical and acoustic metamaterials and metasurfaces, plasmonics, nonlinearities and nonreciprocity, cloaking and scattering, acoustics, optical nanocircuits and nanoantennas.

The Graduate School offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry. As one of seven sub-disciplines, students may specialize in nanotechnology and materials.
