Research
Experience
Research Assistant (January 2010 to Present)
(Advisors: Dr. Thomas Corbitt and Dr. Jonathan P. Dowling)
• My principle experimental research is concentrated on the detection of the Quantum
Radiation Pressure Noise(QRPN) in an optomechanical cavity. This research
further involve calibration and testing of the various quantum noise evasion schemes
including squeezed input, frequency dependent homodyne detection, speedmeters
and other QND measurement techniques, for the future gravitational wave detectors.
• Established a brand new state of the art Quantum Opto-Mechanics laboratory with
Dr. Thomas Corbitt, at the Physics and Astronomy Department of Louisiana State
University.
• Investigated the enhanced generation of the photon pair, using a silicon ring resonator.
This research was a part of my summer-2015 internship that was conducted under
the advise of Dr. Mikio Fujiwara at the National Institute of Information and
Communication Technology (NICT), Japan.
• Experimentally investigated for a low frequency squeezing and its application towards
improved efficiency of the Rb87
vapor based atomic magnetometer. This
published work was done under the supervision of Dr. Eugeniy Mikhailov and
Dr. Irina Novikova from the Physics Department, College of William & Mary,
Williamsburg, VA, USA.

2. • Numerically investigated and demonstrated new optical CNOT gate schemes for the
improved photon detection.
• Numerically investigated the stimulated emission model for an efficient laser cooling
of a two level atom. Our investigations suggested fields to be an efficient heat carrier
with a prospective broadband cooling scheme, applicable to a wider range of atoms
and even the molecules.
Programming
and Software
skills
Proficient in MATLAB, Python, Mathematica, and COMSOL. Well acquainted
