Transfer the momentum of waves to media is one of the basic physical principles allowing for mechanical manipulation of media with waves. Our research is aimed at discovering new phenomena of optomechanical interactions enhanced at the nanoscale. We also try to build a bridge opto- and acoustomechanics, a rapidly developing field of physics   

• Optical forces with surface waves 
• Optical binding 
• Transfer of light and sound angular momentum to media
