About me
I am a Project Researcher in the Nanophotonics group at Tampere University, where I work on the simulation, fabrication, and characterization of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). My research activities are currently focused on the design and optimization of integrated photonic devices, numerical modeling and simulation, cleanroom fabrication using semiconductor microfabrication techniques, and optical characterization. My work aims to develop high-performance photonic components for applications in optical communications, sensing, and next-generation integrated photonic systems.
Field of expertise
My technical expertise encompasses the design, simulation, fabrication, and characterization of integrated photonic devices and semiconductor nanostructures. I have hands-on experience with cleanroom microfabrication processes, photonic device modeling, and optical testing. A summary of my key technical skills is provided below.
Cleanroom microfabrication: Photolithography, electron beam lithography (EBL), reactive ion etching (RIE), PECVD, ebeam metal evaporation, wet chemical etching, wafer dicing, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Photonic device simulation: Ansys Lumerical (FDTD, MODE, INTERCONNECT, FEEM), GDSFactory, KLayout, and Python for the design, optimization, and analysis of waveguides, resonators, couplers, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
Optical characterization: Optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), laser measurements, fiber-coupled characterization, transmission and loss measurements, and analysis of integrated photonic devices and passive optical components.
