I am a physicist with over 10 years of research experience in the areas of nanophotonics and computational electromagnetics. I received my bachelor’s in Applied Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, my PhD from the University of Southern California and worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington.
My research interests lie in the design of a broad class of photonic devices and developing computational tools to model light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. To date, I have contributed to 19 journal and 40 conference publications in the fields of nanophotonics and metamaterials with a focus on optical cryptography, novel imaging systems and reconfigurable optics.
