Final Year Project

Project Title

Artificial Neural Network & Deep Learning Based Design of Nanophotonic Structures

Description

This project aims to employ the concepts of artificial neural networks and deep learning for nanophotonic design and optimization. The aim of the project is to extract detailed information regarding the role of nanophotonic design parameters in determining the output response of a nanophotonic structure under consideration. Moreover, the project also aims to provide an intuitive understanding of the physics involved in the light-matter interaction in the nanophotonic structures without imposing any severe computation complexity.
