Dr. Anuradha Agarwal is a Principal Research Scientist at MIT where she is developing integrated Si-CMOS compatible linear and non-linear materials for photonic devices, especially in the mid-IR regime, for hyperspectral imaging and chem-bio sensing, because most chemical and biological toxins have their fingerprints in this range. Her work on MIR materials and devices is creating a planar, integrated, Si-CMOS-compatible photonics platform which will enable on-chip imaging and sensing applications.
As Director of electronic-photonic packaging at the MIT Microphotonics Center she leads an NSF Convergence Accelerator research program called FUTUR-IC through which her team provides innovative materials and design solutions for microchip devices, and co-packaged optics (CPO) systems, to ensure a prosperous and resource-efficient semiconductor supply chain, through industry-academic research collaborations.
As Leader of the Lab for Education and Application Prototypes (LEAP) at MIT.nano, she is (i) building a roadmap document of photonic sensors through the Integrated Photonic Systems Roadmap (IPSR-I), by identifying technology gaps in materials, components and systems for photonic sensors, and (ii) implementing hybrid advanced manufacturing skills training programs to bridge the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities gap in STEM across the workforce supply chain from K-Gray.
Before coming to MIT, she was at Clarendon Photonics, where she was a part of a team of engineers developing a novel integrated photonic filter.
Dr. Anu Agarwal received her doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University, where she investigated the spatial extent of point defect interactions in silicon.
She is an Optica Fellow (2022), has over 250 journal and refereed conference publications, 21 awarded patents, and 1 pending patent.
