By partnering with next-generation display manufacturers, I lead a technically adept team to design and test components to create an ultra-wide field-of-view for augmented reality visors. With my expert knowledge in geometrical optics, I work with the Executive team to gain insight and feedback on prototypes to further enhance and revise the design process.Established collaborative relationships with BOE and JDI, two major next-generation manufacturers, seeking their technology integration guidance.

I spearheaded nanomaterial R&D efforts at a renewable energy start-up.. I managed a small team and a tight budget. We performed electrochemical measurements and detailed structure-function studies using SEM, AFM, and TEM.

I led semiconductor quantum optics and ultrafast laser research within a multidisciplinary environment, including creating and managing a new, $2M state-of-the-art research laboratory, that advanced the next generation of high-performance computing and telecommunications defense technologies. I also procured $2.5M in grants to augment the lab's budget.Our lab worked in the visible, near-IR and mid-IR optical regimes. We used non-linear effects in photonic crystal nanocavities and single photon on-demand and entangled photon pair sources. We performed complex electrical simulations using a Poisson finite-element semiconductor device solver and finite difference time domain FDTD optical field modeling.Additionally, I worked with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and cryogenic experimentation from concept through completion phases.Key Accomplishments:• Achieved multiple R&D breakthroughs, including design of an ultra-low energy photonic crystal nanobeam electro-optic modulator.• Designed an attojoule/bit optical modulator.• Cultivated collaborations with Pennsylvania State University, University of Dayton, University of Massachusetts, and University of Washington that generated data, proposals, and publications.• Conducted characterization of quantum dots and metal nanoparticles using an ultrafast optical parametric amplifier light source, 4K cryostat, and g(2) apparatus comprised of single photon counters.
