I received my doctorate from LabHC, St-Etienne, France in December 2022. My doctoral thesis was a part of the Innovative Training Network "GREAT" - Grating Reflectors Enabled Laser Applications and Training", supported by the EU Research Framework Programme H2020 /Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. My work was on the fabrication of grating waveguide structures for spectral (polarization) stabilization and wavelength multiplexing of diode lasers (976nm) and thin-disk lasers (1030 nm). During my postdoctoral research fellowship at LabHC, France + University of Moncton, Canada under the Mitacs Globalink Research fellowship,I designed resonant grating laser mirrors for monolithic and compact alternatives to achieve single-mode emission laser operation.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at Albanova, KTH in the Non-linear and quantum photonics (NQP) group. I work mainly on the integration of Lithium niobate photonics devices (modulators and switches) into Silicon quantum photonics circuits for cryogenic condition.

My research interests include integrated photonics, micro and nano-structuring, nano-fabrication, and quantum optics.
