• Demonstrated the smallest (200 μm) optical gyroscope to date. Leveraged non-linear processes in integrated photonic micro-resonators to achieve an over 10 times increase in SNR over the previous best chip-scale device.
• Developed a finite difference solver for Maxwell's equations in highly scattering media, with a reduced time complexity from existing methods. This framework was used to solve several previously intractable problems in deep-tissue optical microscopy.
• Used Industry-standard simulation software including Comsol, Lumerical and Zemax to simulate lenses, laser systems and integrated photonic devices.
