In the Center, there are several on-going projects:

• Biological and bioinspired structures for multispectral surveillance (Science for Peace and Security Programme project, funded by NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division 2019-2022)
• Ramsey spectroscopy in rubidium vapour cells and application to atomic clocks (joint research SCOPES programme project, funded by SNSF, 2013–)
• Production and characterization of nano-photonics functional structures in bio-medicine and informatics (III045016 project, funded by RS, 2011–)
• Holographic methods for the generation of specific wavefronts for the efficient control of quantum coherent effects in the interaction of atoms and lasers (OI171038 project, funded by RS, 2011–)
• Reconfigurable, metamaterial-based multiband and scanning antennas for wireless communication systems and sensors (TR32024 project, funded by RS, 2011–)
• Reconfigurable and Multiband Devices and Antennas Based on Innovative Metamaterial Concept (bilateral project with the Microwave group of the University of Seville, Spain, 2012 –)
• Eye-safe rangefinder (funded by MNTRS)

Past projects:
