Welcome to Photonic Devices Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Kanpur. We are also affiliated with the Gangwal School of Medical Sciences and Technology and the Photonic Science and Engineering Program at the Center for Lasers and Photonics. We engineer light-matter interaction to develop efficient photonic and optoelectronic devices (details here).
Current Openings
Positions available for PhD, MTech, MSR, dual-degree BT-MT, and UGP students interested in theoretical and experimental research in nanophotonics, optoelectronics, and quantum optics. Contact Shilpi with your CV.
