Champalal Lalani

Welcome to my website!

I’m Champalal Lalani, a PhD candidate at IIT Jodhpur, where I am exploring Free-Space Optical-Fiber Converged Communication Systems. I earned my Master’s degree in Optoelectronics and Optical Communication Engineering from IIT Delhi, where my fascination with light-based technologies began.

Currently, I am working on the experimental realization of a 10 Gbps hybrid FSO-fiber link for high-speed communication. My goal is to develop robust, high-throughput links capable of withstanding real-world turbulence. This involves using SFP+ transceivers, collimating optics, high-speed photodiodes, and Fast Steering Mirrors (FSMs). My research is guided by Dr. Aashish Mathur and Dr. Nitin Bhatia, and I have presented my findings at global conferences and published them in peer-reviewed journals.

Before starting my PhD, I served as a Guest Faculty member at MNIT Jaipur and as an Assistant Professor at Government Engineering College, Bilaspur. I enjoyed mentoring the next generation of engineers during that time.

In addition to my work in optical communication, I find joy in calligraphy, sketching, and playing badminton.

Feel free to explore my work, check out my latest updates, and reach out if you’d like to collaborate or chat about optics, innovation, or art.

Thank you for visiting—let’s connect through light!
