Arash Ahmadivand, Ph.D.
Dr. Arash Ahmadivand possesses extensive academic and industrial experience in optical physics, photonics, meta-optics, optoelectronics, and ray tracing principles. Currently, he is an Optical Metamaterials Leader at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) located at Wright-Patterson AFB. From 2020 to 2023, he was employed as a Sr. Photonics Research Scientist at Metamaterials Technologies Inc (META Inc.). Prior to this, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Rice University (2018-2020). He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2018 from Florida International University. His research interests are: i) Understanding of light-matter interaction principles at deep-subwavelength scales and using attained exotic physical phenomena towards the development of novel miniaturized photonic technologies, ii) conducting efficient optimization approaches to devise advanced optical and photonic architectures, iii) exploring the rich interface between the applied and analytical electromagnetics to utilize the designed platforms for engineering efficient, ultradense, and next generation optical instruments.
