Current areas of research

Among other research areas, his research covers metamaterial-engineered antennas This includes configurations and combinations of single-negative metamaterials, double-negative metamaterials, and naturally occurring materials. The study of these materials pertains to how these may affect scatterers, radiators, fields, resonators, gain, and further miniaturization. He has authored and co-authored over 30 papers (2005–2010) related to this area.[11]

His inquiries also cover fundamental research in metamaterials by studying how the properties of these materials, and their use, may affect various electromagnetic devices.[12]
