Research Experience

Integrated Quantum Optoelectronic Systems: Developing large-scale photonic-electronic integrated systems for quantum computing, communications, and metrology. Realized the first wireless quantum information platform. Demonstrated coherent processing of quantum information with optoelectronic circuits.
Photonic-Electronic Transceivers and Processors: Developing on-chip transceivers and transceiver-based photonic-electronic processors for communications and high-performance computing. Devised designs and a design framework for quantum-enhanced coherent optical transceivers.
Scalable Photonic and Optoelectronic Architectures: Developed the largest (up-to-date) thermo-optic phase shifter array with monitor photodiodes and demonstrated scalable thermal crosstalk correction, enabling hardware error correction for photonic integrated systems.

Folded Inductor-Based Wideband Ultra-Compact Passive Structures: Devised and demonstrated a novel folded inductor-based design methodology for ultra-compact integrated mm-Wave passive structures for multi-band 5G wireless communications.

Phased Array Transceiver for Lunar Communications: Developed an end-to-end 2.4 GHz phased array transceiver for extravehicular activity communications on the lunar surface.
24 GHz Semi-Passive RFID Tag: Developed a novel 24-GHz semi-passive RFID tag to improve the bandwidth of RFID systems for tera-scale IoT/IoE applications.

Ultra-Sensitive Remote Sensing Instrument: Developed an ultra-sensitive end-to-end electric field sensing system for low-frequency (<500 kHz) radio reception. The instrument is 20 dB more sensitive than state-of-the-art and has been deployed globally to form the AWESOME network, a receiver network for low-frequency radio science research and lightning geo-location.

Impulse Current Generator for Next-Generation Disconnect Switches: Developed an impulse current generator to test the electrical contacts of high-speed disconnect switches.
