About

I am a PhD student at Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP), University of Maryland working under the supervision of Dr. Mohammad Hafezi. Previously, I did my Masters at Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), University of Waterloo with Dr. Michal Bajcsy at the Nano Photonics and Quantum Optics (NPQO) Laboratory. Before that, I completed my undergraduate in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Jadavpur University, India.

    Researchers Identify Groovy Way to Beat Diffraction Limit

    October 3, 2025

    There's a limit to how tightly a lens can focus a laser beam. For researchers studying the interactions between light and matter, this makes experiments more challenging. A new chip made from a thin, grooved sheet of silver defies this limit, delivering the energy of 800-nanometer laser light to a sample in peaks and valleys just a few dozen nanometers apart.
