  • PhD, Physics, City University of New York

Research Description

Professor Levy's field of expertise is photonics. In recent years he has worked on the development of magnetic photonic crystals in planar geometries. His research presently centers on the physics and applications of magneto-photonic crystals, especially of near-band-edge and resonance phenomena, as well as on nonreciprocal and unidirectional optical Bloch oscillatory phenomena.
