My research utilizes device physics and nanooptics to develop new optoelectronic device concepts and platforms. This includes applications such as optical modulators, photodetectors, molecular/chemical sensors, as well as digital memory and neuromorphic computing devices. My work includes nanofabrication, optical design/simulation, optical spectroscopy, and optoelectronic characterization to design, develop, and measure devices from scratch, often utilizing the convenient and low-cost 2D materials platform to assemble complex material heterostructure junctions and merging them with nanooptical elements such as metasurfaces, plasmonic resonators, or nanophotonic waveguides to enhance light-matter interaction.
