Wireless systems
at the nanoscale

The next generation of medical devices, neural interfaces, and biosensors will need to communicate wirelessly at scales where conventional radio technology fails. NanoWireless Lab builds the physical-layer foundations that make this possible.

Principal Investigator

I am an Assistant Professor at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, where I direct the NanoWireless Lab. My research focuses on the nano-bio interface, specifically designing the photonic, plasmonic, and electromagnetic systems that allow us to communicate with biological tissue and molecular-scale phenomena.

Instead of treating these as separate disciplines, my group addresses the three core bottlenecks of implantable and nanoscale networks: physical-layer communication, wireless power delivery, and neural interfacing.

Research Areas

Communication at the Nano-Bio Interface

Bridging the physical layer gap between conventional electronics and molecular-scale phenomena using plasmonic waveguides and nano-antenna optical links.

Plasmonics & Nano-Antennas

Powering the Implantable Future

Designing safe, high-bandwidth wireless power delivery systems built intimately around the realities constraints of human tissue to eliminate batteries.

Wireless Energy Transfer

Reading & Writing to Biological Systems

Developing non-invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and optogenomic arrays that conform to soft tissue for reading and writing neural signals.

Neural Interfaces & Bio-Actuation

Built for
those who
build early.

NanoWireless Lab is a young, intentionally small research group at SUNY Poly. We work closely with undergraduate and Master's students on real research problems — students who make meaningful contributions are recognized as co-authors. We are also actively building collaborations with PhD-granting institutions and industry partners in the region.
