• Novel end-to-end quantum-secure data communication solutions uniquely capable of all three cryptographic prerequisites • Towards quantum-encoded optical communications over existing fiber networks.
• Mitacs Internship - Towards quantum-encoded optical communications over existing fiber networks • Exploit quantum principles (Glauber states) for encoding and decoding data transmitted over existing fiber networks for obtaining secure transmission.
• Thesis - Ultra-Compact Bragg Grating Devices in SOI • Design of typical Bragg structures (Discrete arrays, Fabry-Pérot, etc) using a wide stopband compact Bragg grating structure which utilizes nanoholes etched into a waveguide. • Completed two complete design cycles consisting of the device design, simulation (Lumerical MODE), optimization, and characterization • Device Layout for fabrication were created in KLayout - Python interface • Characterization of fabricated devices to identify stop-band and manufacturing variability Supervised by Professor Lawrence R. Chen
