Rana Nicolas is a member of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), and also a regular reviewer in the Plasmonics Journal, and the Nanospectroscopy Journal. She has co-authored many scientific articles in her field.

Her first article in 2015 - 'Plasmonic mode interferences and Fano resonances in Metal-Insulator- Metal nanostructured interface' gave her so much pride and sense of accomplishment.

Since then, more of her articles have been published including the 'High harmonic generation in solid crystals assisted by plasmonic resonance'.

She also attended conferences worldwide to deepen her knowledge and widen her horizons.

She considers her Ph.D. as one of her ultimate achievements.
