Welcome to my website!

I am a senior research engineer in the interdisciplinary Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory at Stanford University. My interests are in the fields of nanophotonics and solid-state image sensing.

My research in nanophotonics focuses on the theoretical and experimental exploration of metal-based metamaterials and nanophotonic devices that enable efficient transport of light at the nano-scale with applications in energy, information technology, optical sensing, and even textiles. This work is performed in close collaboration with the research group of Professor Shanhui Fan.

My research in solid-state image sensing stems from my doctoral work on the optics of image sensors in the research group of Professors Brian A. Wandell and Abbas El Gamal. Here, I am particularly interested in light-matter interaction inside micron-size image sensor pixels and the consequences of fundamental light properties on performance as solid state image sensor technology scales.

I have published extensively in both fields (>115 papers including 20 invited and >50 highly-cited) and presented my work at numerous international conferences (including >35 invited talks).

Enjoy your visit,
