I am currently an Optical Engineer at Apple. I obtained my PhD degree from Purdue University, under the supervision of Prof. Vladimir M. Shalaev, Alexandra Boltasseva and Alexander V. Kildishev. My research at Purdue focuses on optics and nanophotonics, metasurfaces, and optoelectronic effects in graphene.
