DR. VIKTORIIA BABICHEVA
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico. I teach ECE 563 Computational Methods for Electromagnetics in the Fall semesters and ECE 561 Engineering Electromagnetics in the Spring semesters. My research interests are nanophotonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials. Before starting at UNM, I worked at the Univ. Arizona, Georgia State, and Purdue Universities. Our research is supported by grants from NSF National Science Foundation, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Naval Research Laboratory.
