Resonant Nanophotonics Educational
Workshop 2025
July 7-11
Join us for an engaging workshop aimed at fostering collaboration among leading research groups in the field of modern nanophotonics. The event introduces young researchers and students to the latest advancements in this developing area and offers a unique environment for learning, exchanging ideas, and inspiration for further research endeavors.

The first three days will be dedicated to lectures from famous scientists in the field of Nanophotonics. The final two days of the workshop will feature an intensive Masterclass on Theoretical Modeling of Resonant Nanophotonic Systems. Participants will gain hands-on experience in numerical and/or analytical modeling techniques to explore the optical properties of plasmonic and semiconductor resonant nanostructures. Our experts will guide you in enhancing your skills using the COMSOL Multiphysics software, as well as assist you in developing your own computational tools based on Fourier Modal Method and other approaches.

How will it work?
We will divide participants into small groups of 3-4 individuals and assign each team a research problem. We will suggest the research problem spanning from basics of numerical modeling in Comsol MulthiphysicsTM environment, getting familiar with Fourrier Modal Methods, and even analytical methods of nanooptics depending on your level and preferences:

  • Learning the basics of Comsol MultiphysicsTM for nanophotonic simulations
  • Advanced methods of nanophotonics simulations in Comsol MulthiphysicsTM including optimization methods;
  • Basics of Fourier Modal Method;
  • Advanced methods of analytical modeling;
1
Our tutors, who are excellent experts in analytical and numerical methods, will provide educational lectures to help you efficiently approach and tackle the problem. With their guidance, you will work in a self-study regime for the next 1.5 days.
2
On the final day, you will present and defend your results. Upon completion of the Masterclass, you will receive a certificate approving your earned skills.
