Photonics Scientist (PhD) | Meta-Optics, Optical Design & Laser Systems Specialist

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified photonics scientist with deep expertise in nanophotonics for solar energy harvesting, chiral optics, light emission engineering, and advanced optical lithography. I earned my PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), where I focused on nanoscale optical systems and photonic device development, and I hold two granted Indian patents in optical lithography innovations. Following my doctorate, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge, where I worked on quantum bi-photonics, energy correlation phenomena, and single-photon emission systems, contributing to cutting-edge research in quantum and nanoscale photonics. I have extensive hands-on expertise in optical setup design, system integration, and precision assembly of photonic experiments, bridging theoretical modeling with practical implementation in laboratory and industrial environments. Currently, I work as a photonic scientist in industry, developing and applying advanced optical and photonic solutions for real-world applications. I offer consulting in: Nanophotonics and optical device design Metasurfaces and advanced photonic structures Optical lithography and fabrication processes Quantum and single-photon systems Experimental optical setup design and optimization I am open to collaborating on research, development, simulation, and technical consulting projects in photonics and applied optics.
