We are a team of enthusiastic scientists, conducting curiosity-driven research at the interface of nanophotonics, biophysics, and spectroscopy. We are fascinated by the possibilities of controlling light-matter interactions on the nanoscale to innovate exciting technologies and devices in biosensing and imaging.
In our research, we harness novel optical properties of plasmonic and complex nanophotonic structures to gain fundamental insights about single particles, single molecules and proteins, and various biomolecules. We probe these structures using spectroscopic techniques (e.g., Raman, SERS, fluorescence, linear and nonlinear light scattering) and advanced optical techniques (e.g., single-molecule microscopy, wavefront shaping, nearfield techniques).
The team is guided by Femi Ojambati and is part of the Department of Applied Nanophotonics at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente.

March 07, 2025 | New paper published in Advanced Optical MaterialsIn the paper "Few Photons Probe Third‐Order Nonlinear Properties of Nanomaterials in a Plasmonic Nanocavity", we demonstrate that a few photons probe the nonlinear properties of different nanomaterials inside a plasmonic nanocavity. A simple analytical model fits the experimental result, which shows a strong dependence on the nanocavity resonance.
