Research

Dr. Chabanov’s current research interests are in electromagnetic wave phenomena in periodic and disordered media and their applications in photonics. He uses microwave, infrared and optical measurements to study transport in complex, inhomogeneous materials and structures. His research includes microwave properties of magnetic photonic crystals and their applications in antennas, propagation and localization of microwaves in random cavities and waveguides, fabrication and optical properties of photonic band gap materials for photonics applications, photon localization and lasing in disordered microstructures.

Teaching

Fall 2005: Technical Physics II (PHY 1924.02).
