I am an engineering research associate in the research group of Professor Shanhui Fan. The group investigates photonic materials and devices using first-principles electomagnetic field methods. My research focuses on the theoretical exploration of metal-based metamaterials and nanophotonic devices that enable efficient transport of light at the nano-scale.
I am also active in field of solid state image sensing. Following my doctoral work on the optics of image sensors in the research group of Professors Brian A. Wandell and Abbas El Gamal, I am particularly interested in the modeling of light-matter interaction inside micron-size image sensor pixels and the consequences of fundamental light properties on performance as solid state image sensor technology scales.
