OSA - SPIE IITM Student Chapters
cordially invite you to a talk on
Simulation of photonics and nano-photonic device: challenges and status
Dr. Arti Agrawal,
Director, Women in Engineering and IT, University of Technology Sydney
Abstract of the talk:
The talk will touch upon a few of the projects Prof Arti Agarwal is involved in. One of the projects being on development of plasmonic-polaritonic coupling in 2D materials such as Graphene. Another project is about development of plasmonic nanohole arrays for biomarker free detection. Prof Arti will also briefly mention on certain areas which she interested in furthering: development of methods and algorithms for 3D photonic device design based on self-avoiding walks and other approaches.
Bio of the Speaker:
Dr. Agrawal joined UTS in January 2018 with time evenly split between roles of Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Data Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and IT, and Director of the Women in Engineering and IT programme.
Previously Dr. Agrawal worked at City, University of London from 2005-2017 in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Engineering. She was a Royal Society postdoctoral fellow, and her PhD was on modelling methods for optical components, completed at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 2005.
Dr. Agrawal’s research interests lie in optics: modelling of photonic components such as solar cells, optical fibers, sensors, lasers etc. She is an expert on numerical methods for optics including the Finite Element Method (FEM). She has written a book on FEM and edited a book on trends in computational photonics. She is also an Associate Editor for the IEEE Photonics Journal, a Chartered Engineer, Chartered Physicist and Senior Member of the Optical Society and the IEEE.
She is passionate about increasing the representation of women in Science and Engineering. She is currently the Associate Vice President of Diversity for the IEEE Photonics Society.
