I am a fourth year undergraduate student studying Engineering Physics. My undergraduate thesis involves the design of a nanoscale photonic cavity system for enhanced resonant excitation of a quantum dot. I am generally interested in optics and photonics, and love to learn about different applications of light as a tool, from lasers to qubits. I like to keep busy by playing lots of different sports and getting outside as much as possible to cycle, ski, and hike.

Adam joined the Quantum Nanophotonics Lab in 2021, where he has been using machine learning to reduce the effects of environmental noise on quantum dots. He is also a member of Shastri Lab, which develops neuromorphic photonic circuits for various computing and control tasks. His interests include quantum computing & communication, deep learning, and alternative computing approaches. In his free time, he enjoys playing hockey, rock climbing, and exploring Kingston's many restaurants.

MSc Gradaute

Quantum Nanophotonics Lab

Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy

Project: My master’s project was focused on the simulation and fabrication of nanophononics such as waveguides and grating based on InP.

General Research interests: Nonlinear quantum optics, light-matter interactions, numerical methods (FEM, FDTD), and topology optimization.

Personal info: I am from Iran, and my first master's thesis's main part was the Optimization of a Photonic Crystal Waveguide by FDTD Method. In my spare time I enjoy playing Chess, and some of my interests include watching movies, hiking, and video games.
