About


I do research and develop new technology that will benefit NASA missions and beyond. Our group in section 332 at JPL has a rich experience in nonlinear optics, AMO physics, space qualified frequency standards/clocks, lasers, whispering gallery mode resonators and other fields.  We are open to new collaborations with academia and industry. Graduate students affiliated with greater Los Angeles area Universities and Postdocs may work in our group. We have a number of promising projects aimed at developing new technology and understanding underlying physical principles.

My research areas of interest include:

  • Cavity optomechanics, quantum and nonlinear optics with WGM microresonators
  • Detection and generation of THz radiation with photonics
  • Microresonator based frequency combs
  • mid-IR spectroscopy, lasers, oscillators
  • Atomic and nuclear frequency standards, lasers for clock transitions
  • Fabrication techniques for photonic devices
  • Optical design, modeling and optimization
  • Applications of optics in biology, environment and energy
