Remote sensing technology is a key component of modern agriculture, enabling the monitoring of crop growth and soil ecological conditions, which is crucial for reducing carbon emissions associated with global warming. Microwave remote sensing can penetrate forest canopies and even reach the soil, while hyperspectral optical technology provides detailed molecular information for material a…
The precision enabled by nanostructured materials in controlling light-matter interactions at the nanoscale has prompted a transformative shift in nanophotonics. This interdisciplinary field, investigating the interaction of light waves with nanostructured matter, is witnessing a surge in scientific and technological significance. Particularly, metasurface research has transcended academi…

This proposed project, focused on the development of SAR tomography processing algorithms, will be carried out in two fronts. For the first front, Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave (MW) bands will be considered (P and L bands, in particular), aiming at underground tomography applications using a stepped-frequency SAR technique for a regular and noise/random probing signals for having a p…
The present proposal consists of a binational research project formed by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC) at UNICAMP and the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems of the National Research Council (CRN-IMM) of Italy. This work aims to carry out a theoretical and numerical study, experimental demonstration and application of quasi-dark and toroidal modes in…

Public lighting system concessionaires have been adopting strategies and actions to replace conventional lamps with LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps, aiming for efficiency and savings. However, the potential of this technology goes far beyond mere lighting applications, offering a communication system that is still in the development phase and can be explored as a complementary multiple a…
Contemporary times bring the change in energy paradigms, sustainability, social inclusion and the digitalization of work relations as complex challenges, especially for countries that are in the process of development and presente significant levels of technical, social and economic gaps, as is the Brazilian case. The greatest shortage of courses on renewable energy is in developing count…
Beam steering or scanning is crucial in the implementation of several technological applications, for instance, LiDAR, optical communications, laser machining and 3D printing. Current technologies enabling the generation of beam steering can be realized by the dynamic optoelectronic beamformer devices rely on active medium such as transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials, multiple qua…

This project aims to introduce the candidate in the study of electromagnetic sensors based on theexcitation of the resonance modes of a metallic surface when it is illuminated by an optical beam,these modes are called Surface Plasmons Polaritons (SPP). Sensors based on this phenomenon arecalled Surface Plasmon Resonators (SPR) and use two interrogation modes: angular and spectral.A modifi…
This project aims to introduce the candidate to the study of electromagnetic sensors based on the spectral interrogation technique, that is, by frequency or wavelength. Two types of sensors will be analyzed theoretically and experimentally, one operating in the microwave range (from 0.9 to 5 GHz) and the other operating in the visible, in particular red (660 nm).The microwave sensor will …
Circulators are nonreciprocal devices normally used for the protection of signal sources against parasitic reflections that arise from unmatched loads in a communication system. The operating principle of circulators is related to the breaking of the time reversal symmetry due to the application of a DC magnetic field to a magneto-optical material that constitutes such devices. This exter…

Circulators play a key role in the protection of signal sources, like LASERs and amplifiers, against the harmful effects related to parasitic reflections created by unmatched loads in communication systems. Most circulator designs rely on the utilization of magneto-optical (MO) materials, since such materials can provide the time reversal symmetry breaking required for the operation of ci…
This research internship proposal aims at the fabrication and characterization of nanoantennas designed to operate at optical communication frequencies. The nanoantenna designs so far theoretically developed by the student have focused on producing possible efficient solutions for challenging problems of coupling, and also communication, related to indoor optical wireless systems and int…
This research project intends to fulfill our current needs for a more intense research on the topics in development under the post-doc grant provided by Fapesp during the last two years. It presents, as its main goal, the reasons why an internship abroad would be of fundamental importance, the objectives to be achieved during the period considered here, and the expectations regarding the …
