Gopikrishnan Gopalakrishnan Meena: Photonics Research Scientist
Lab / Organization: Ultra Low Loss Technologies
During the QB3 Fellowship year I was working on designing and testing Optofluidic biosensor devices which uses multi-mode interference photonic waveguides for multiplexed diagnostics applications. The fellowship funded my research, paid tuition fee and helped me buy essential text books & lab supplies. My current research is on designing photonic chips for various applications such as spectroscopy, lasers, light sources etc. It gives me satisfaction to go through the process of starting with a device idea for a specific application, designing the chip and finally get the chip fabricated and see it working in real life. In the future, I would like to stay in an industry environment and work on product development.
