About
Vaibhav Sharma completed his Ph.D. in Physics (Optics) from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), New Delhi, India, in 2025. He earned his B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Delhi in 2016 and his M.Sc. in Physics, with a specialization in Electronics, from CCS University, India, in 2018. In the same year, he qualified the CSIR-UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) in Physics. From July to December 2018, he served as an Assistant Professor of Physics at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute, CCS University. He joined IIT Delhi in January 2019 as a Ph.D. research scholar. His research focuses on liquid crystals, optical waveguides, optoelectronic and photonic devices, sensors, and solar energy harvesting systems. He has extensive hands-on experience in both free-space and guided-wave optics, including the fabrication of liquid crystal–based optical waveguides and electro-optic devices. He is proficient in using lasers, optical components, and fiber optics, and has applied simulation tools such as MATLAB and RSoft BeamPROP (BPM) for the modeling and analysis of optical devices. During his Ph.D., he published five research papers in reputed international journals and presented four papers at national and international conferences. He is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
