I use the principles of wave optics, ray optics, imaging, and computational electromagnetics to understand advanced optical technologies. I develop models, build test configurations, characterize devices, design components, invent concepts, and work with manufacturing teams to bring ideas to mass manufacturing. I lead technical programs, manage teams, and mentor the next generation of optical scientists.
