Prof. Dr. Tatjana Gric’s research career has been focused on the investigation of waveguide devices (waveguide modulators, filters, etc.), namely on proposing their electrodynamical analysis. Prof. Gric's applied research includes the design of microwave frequency-selective structures, waveguide modulators, and filters. Prof. Gric's fundamental research is primarily concerned with developing rigorous computational methods for the electrodynamical analysis of waveguide structures. Another primary goal of her studies is plasmonics, which involves examining the interaction between an electromagnetic field and free electrons in a metal. The optically active nanostructures have been simulated, and their fundamental photonic properties have been explored. Moreover, the broad scope of research carried out by Dr. Gric has included investigations into the new, fascinating properties of novel materials. Dr. Gric is involved in the development of unusual materials and structures that can manipulate the flow of light in ways that are useful in optical sensing, photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, fiber optics, and other applications. Dr. Gric also has a record of effective teaching as a Full Professor. She has been conducting independent research projects for the past ten years. Dr. Gric has published extensively in her field of investigation with more than 80 peer-reviewed papers in top journals in physics, electrodynamics, and optics.
