Photonics professional with over a decade of experience, from doctoral research at DIAT-DRDO to leading metasurface and optical lithography work at IISc Bangalore. I’m passionate about turning light into useful things.
My experience spans metasurfaces, optical instrumentation, lithography systems, photonic integrated circuits (PIC), hyperspectral and IR imaging, lasers, and optical simulation and characterization. I have also studied co-packaged optics, LiDAR, and endoscopy, and have taken part in technical discussions with defence and space organisations on photonics. I have delivered technical talks and presented my work at national and international forums.
I’ve completed courses and training on taking ideas from lab to product and experience on evaluating product-market fit. I’m open to working on and discussing any area of optics and photonics, from shaping a product idea to strategy, technical analysis, and business development. Outside work, I enjoy reading and writing, from technical news, journal articles, to novels in Kannada and English.
