About me
![Picture of Thariq](images/picture.jpg)
I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, with a major in Electrical engineering and a minor in Physics. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. I work with Prof. Juliet Gopinath at the Optics and Photonics Research Group.
My primary expertise is in computational and experimental optics, in particular super-resolution microscopy and non-linear processes in integrated photonic devices.
I have a fair amount of experience with circuit design and debugging, FPGA programming, and Linux systems. I have worked in clean rooms for on-chip optical device fabrication. I maintain an up-to-date list of publications and expertise here.
I think Physics is fun, and want Physics to be fun for everyone! I am privileged to have led a team of six as the manager of the Maths and Physics Club at IIT Bombay in the term 2017-18. Check out the club website and some of the blogs I've written here.
