Experience
Research Training Institut Fresnel, Marseille, France: During masters’ 1^st semester, worked in a projects on hyperbolic metamaterials under the supervision of Dr. Stefan Enoch, Former Director, Institut Fresnel, Aix-Marseille University. This 6 ECTS worth project was intended to provide primary training for photonics research. Before the beginning of the 2nd semester in Karlsruhe, there was a free month. I spent that time working on metamaterial waveguides with the same supervisor. (Link: www.fresnel.fr)	October 2014 - March 2015:
NanoFabrication Karlsruhe School of Optics and Photonics, Karlsruhe, Germany: Masters’ 2^nd semester, worked in the cleanroom facility. There was a complete module consisting of 4 different experiments to train the students on Nanofabrication process. During these experiments: - Fabricated an organic LED - Fabricated an organic transistor - Trained in direct laser writing and optical lithography - Trained in Scanning Electron Microscopy (Link: www.ksop.de)	April 2015 - July 2015:
Summer Internship University of St Andrews Fife, United Kingdom: Joined the nanophotonics group at University of St Andrews. This group holds the world record for low loss slow light photonic crystal waveguide. During this internship designed a group index taper for efficient coupling of light into slow light photonic crystal waveguide. A paper on this topic was also published in SPIE Photonics Europe meeting in 2016 (DOI). (Link: Nanophotonics Group)	August 2015 - October 2015:
Master Thesis Thales Research & Technology, Palaiseau, France: Pursuing master thesis at the Micro and Nano Physics Group. Currently designing a focusing apodized grating coupler for efficient coupling of light between fiber and photonic chip. Also helping the group in characterizing different samples from other projects. (Link: Thales Group)	March 2016 – August 2016:
Research Assistant: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA: PhD candidate at ECE department under the supervision of Professor Gianluca Piazza and Prof. James A. Bain. Research interest and expertise includes: integrated photonics, chalcogenide photonics, acousto-optics, mirco- nano fabrication technologies etc.	January 2017 – Present:
