PhD Electrical Engineer specializing in Optics, Electromagnetics & Scientific Computing

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Electrical Engineer specializing in optics, electromagnetics, scientific computing, and data analysis, with extensive experience in simulation, modeling, and experimental system design. My research background includes nanophotonics, plasmonic structures, single-photon emitters, and surface plasmon resonance sensors, supported by multiple peer-reviewed publications. I have strong hands-on expertise in MATLAB, Python, FDTD/FEM simulations (Lumerical, COMSOL, CST, HFSS), signal and noise analysis, optimization algorithms, and scientific data processing. I also have experience developing automated workflows, numerical solvers, and analytical models for complex physical systems. My work spans optical system modeling, electromagnetic wave simulations, RF and microwave system analysis, and quantum/photonic device characterization. I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams and supported both experimental and computational projects. I also taught university laboratory courses in Electrical Systems, Biomedical Engineering, singnal processing, and Advanced Electromagnetics, strengthening my ability to explain and translate technical concepts clearly. I am available for projects involving: • Physics/engineering simulations (optics, EM, RF, wave propagation) • MATLAB/Python coding, numerical modeling, and automation • Data analysis, signal processing, and visualization • Scientific writing, literature reviews, and technical editing • Mathematical modeling and problem solving • Optical/photonic device analysis and design • ML-based modeling and optimization (Python & MATLAB)
