Tenure and Promotion

I am happy to share that I’ve been promoted to associate professor with tenure in both the department of biomedical engineering and the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. I would like to thank the hard work of my lab members, and the support of mentors, collaborators, friends, and family. I am also grateful for the people who wrote letters of support on my behalf. I extend my thanks to all my research sponsors, project managers, and reviewers, who gave me a chance and provided me with feedback, reminding me that nothing is as easy as it seems, and that hard work remains.

Opening and closing speaker for IONS 2023

In addition to being the general co-chair for the Advanced Photonics Congress’ Integrated Photonics Research conference in Busan, Korea (July 9 -13), I will also be giving the opening and closing speech for IONS (International OSA Network of Students) 2023, held on July 9th at the same venue. I look forward to meeting the next generation of optical science and engineering researchers.

NSF CAREER AWARD

I’m happy to receive an NSF CAREER award entitled Bioinspired optical sniffer based on microtoroid resonators and science and technology convergence. This was a particularly challenging submission as it was due two months after I gave birth and I have a very active one year old as well. I’m thankful for all the support I received and will do my best to justify the support of NSF and the taxpayer.
