To provide a theoretical framework describing the many-body dynamical electronic response of solids and the collective electronic excitations emerging at metal surfaces.
Formulated theoretical models describing many-body dynamical electronic responses at solid surfaces.
Reviewed existing computational calculations, experimental measurements, and technological applications across physics, materials science, and biology.
Characterized the fundamental mechanisms of conventional surface plasmons, multipole plasmons, and acoustic surface plasmons.
Demonstrated how collective electronic modes at metal interfaces govern light-matter interactions and support emerging applications in sensing and optical devices.
