Caio Moreti Koga, Jasim Bhatti, Adrian Ortega, Andres Lara, and Nurain Chowdhury
Senior Design I and II: development and testing of a low-cost air-quality monitoring system.
Faculty mentor: Prof. Krasnok.
Joined Nokia in August 2026. Research at QTM Lab covered quantum sensors, THz photonics, diamond TeraFETs, and mid-IR/THz devices.
Design Engineer, imec USA Florida, Superconducting Electronics team. Co-supervised with Prof. Arjuna Madanayake; research on complex-frequency control, circuit/cavity QED, Fano-qubits, and scattering anomalies.
Transferred to another university in Spring 2026. Research at QTM Lab included silicon microring resonators, electromagnetic solver cross-validation, temporal coupled-mode modeling, and free-carrier effects in silicon photonics.
Former FIU postdoctoral fellow; now an Antenna Engineer in industry. Research and mentoring covered antenna design, microwave photonics, RF prototyping, and measurements.
Worked on wireless power transfer, transmitter–receiver coil measurements, and CST electromagnetic simulations. Continued studies at the University of Florida in 2024; Founder and CEO of EcoPulse Foundation.
Moved to Army labs.
Current and recent collaborations connect the lab with Arjuna Madanayake’s group at FIU, Andrea Alù’s group at CUNY, Sergey Kutsaev at RadiaBeam, Andrew Cleland at the University of Chicago, and Michael Kelly at Argonne National Laboratory in the United States; D. M. Broun at Simon Fraser University and Leonid Belostotski at the University of Calgary in Canada; and the Sokoloff–Pascal–Callegari team at LAPLACE, Toulouse/CNRS, in France.
Joint work brings circuit and electromagnetic models together with superconducting-resonator, optical, and plasma experiments.
