• Carrier interactions, band structure and optical spectra
• Excitons in carbon nanotubes
• Ultrafast dynamics of carriers, excitons, and phonons in carbon nanotubes
• Spectroscopy of small ensembles or individual nanotubes
• Magneto- and electro-optics
• Nanotube-based optoelectronic devices and electroluminescence
• Growth, purification and separation of nanotubes for optical studies
• Spectroscopy of Graphene
