SANTOSH KUMAR

About

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at North Carolina State University, USA. I complted my PhD from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore, under the supervision of Prof. Mukesh Kumar.
My research interests lie in integrated photonics, nanophotonics, and optoelectronic devices, with a focus on hybrid plasmonic and silicon photonic platforms. My work spans device design, simulation, nanofabrication, and experimental characterization for applications in optical communication, memory technologies, and emerging photonic systems.
I have also been actively involved in teaching and professional activities, including leadership roles in OPTICA and the IEEE Photonics Society student chapters.
