Reza Asgar is a theoretical condensed-matter physicist working with FLEET CI Prof Dimitre Culcer at UNSW. Reza’s particular interest is in the nonlinear optical response in low-dimensional advanced materials, seeking an answer to the question ’How do we get maximum benefits in the case of light-matter interaction?’ A deep understanding of the phenomena is needed to discover promising materials in optoelectronics and other technologies. Within FLEET’s Reza’s work falls under Research theme 1 topological materials.
