Heterostructures of 2D magnets & physicsQuantum Spin Optics, Quantum Physics & Device ApplicationsQuantum LiDAR Applications
Research Summary: My current research centered on emerging quantum science and technologies, with a focus on the optical and spin physics of two-dimensional (2D) magnets, quantum entanglement, and quantum device science. Specifically, I investigating fundamental aspects of quantum optics—including entanglement, single-photon Raman spectroscopy—as well as spin-based magneto-electro-optical and transport phenomena in atomically thin 2D quantum magnets and heterostructures. The overarching goal is to advance the technological potential of these systems, particularly in the domains of quantum sensing and quantum computing.
Previously, I worked on the physics of anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials and their optoelectronic applications. I had the privilege of investigating the anisotropic properties of a low-symmetry (C₂ᵥ) layered material through linear and nonlinear optical microscopy, spectroscopy, and electronic measurements during my research in Europe. This experience also provided me with valuable hands-on expertise in electro-optical instrumentation.Â
During my doctoral research, I focused on nanoscale device fabrication and the fundamental vibrational and excitonic physics of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures, with an emphasis on their applications in optoelectronic devices.Â
Instrumentation: Single Photon Raman Spectroscopy setup (Quantum sensing, LiDAR application), Cryostat setup during Ph.D (77K) and Postdoc (4.7K); Device photodetection setup; heterostructure setup; LP-CVD growth setup, MATLAB coding for optical and electronic instrumentations.
