Summary

Nanophotonics engineer with expertise spanning electromagnetic simulation, nanofabrication, and optical characterization. Designs metasurfaces and diffractive nanostructures using Lumerical FDTD, COMSOL, and MEEP, with hands-on experience translating simulated designs into fabricated and experimentally validated devices. Combines optical metrology experience at Meta Reality Labs with nanoimprint process and tool development at Applied Materials to account for fabrication constraints, process variations, and real-world optical performance. Proficient in Python and MATLAB for simulation, optimization, and measurement automation.
