Rising Stars of Light, initiated by Light: Science & Applications, is a worldwide campaign for the most shining young scientists in optics-related topics.
A joint second place prize between Amit and Dr. Shuo Sun from UC Boulder:
Their research efforts are focused on developing novel measurement methods and nanofabrication techniques to study fundamental light-matter interaction in nanophotonic devices. This includes developing innovative approaches to generate, detect and manipulate light at the nanoscale, and utilizing such fully-functional integrated photonic platforms as compact, efficient and manufacturable interfaces to atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) systems.
