EXPERIENCE
MIT Lincoln Laboratories
Lexington, MA
Research Assistant (Doctoral Research) (2002-Present)
Researched all-optical ultra-fast signal processing technologies and methods for packet routing
in telecommunication networks with extensive experience in designing, analyzing, implementing
testing high-speed optical devices and systems.
Made numerous technical presentations in
meetings, seminars and conferences to researchers, engineers, undergraduate and graduate
students, management, and government sponsors. Major accomplishments include:
 Designed, built, and tested a 40-Gb/s all-optical header processing unit using
semiconductor optical amplifier-based switches.
 Developed and tested efficient optimization techniques for solid-state integrated alloptical switches.
 Demonstrated 10 Gb/s single-channel error-free all-optical regeneration over 10,000-km
using a single integrated photonic switch.
 Collaborated with the Integrated Photonic Materials and Devices group at MIT to design
and characterize new monolithically-integrated all-optical switches.
Research Assistant (Masters Research) (2001-2002)
Researched and implemented methods for complete phase and amplitude characterization of
ultrashort (picosecond class) optical pulses.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA
Teaching Assistant (Fall 2003)
Taught and held weekly office hours and recitations for the undergraduate course on Electromagnetics. Developed and delivered problems to demonstrate the general concepts taught in
lecture. Tutored students in one-on-one settings on concepts and techniques.
