My field of interest is first principles theory, design, and invention of on-chip device technology based on light-matter interaction on the micro and nano scale, including photonics, phononics and electronics, in the classical and quantum regimes. I am also interested in the design of integrated systems-on-chip that enable new modes of communication, computation, signal processing, and sensing through immersive interdisciplinary collaboration with microfabrication, circuits, systems and architecture experts. Topics of relevance include: silicon photonics/nanophotonics; CMOS photonics-electronics integration and energy efficient, scalable photonic systems-on-chip; nanoscale confined elastic wave devices and NEMS; novel laser source concepts, photonic and phononic circuit based mode locking and optical frequency combs, and on-chip optical clock technology; RF photonics; quantum and nonlinear integrated photonics; nano-optomechanics and acousto-optics, optical forces, smart self-adaptive photonic systems; photonic device and circuit theory.
