Designed and implemented testing setups, including grating coupler probing setups, to calibrate and confirm accuracy of various MWP device measurements (DC characterizations, S parameters, insertion loss, and V_π using EE and OE test schemes). Collected & catalogued results using instruments such as real time oscilloscopes, lightwave component analyzers, vector network analyzers, electrical spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. Based on these measurements, provided recommendations for device improvements.
Organized and presented tutorials for undergraduate students concerning analog DC and small signal circuit analysis. Guided students through practical circuit design and testing on breadboards.
Supervised a team of undergraduate students’ design project as well as a single student’s honors thesis. Created and presented tutorials to help explain concepts and provide guidance regarding photonic concepts such as Faraday rotators and electro-optic polymer modulators.
Learned about active silicon photonic device simulation and fabrication. Designed and fabricated a silicon photonic Mach Zehnder Modulator.
Worked closely as a team with other interns and full time employees in order to assemble, develop, and test new products and their applications. While there, I also developed an understanding of the company and the surrounding industry, analyzed and designed circuitry for products and test equipment, and created and fixed orcad schematics.
