Harish Bhaskaran

Professor of Applied Nanomaterials

I run the Advanced Nanoscale Engineering Lab. We are interested in the area of photonics, specifically in phase change materials integrated into photonics for applications in non-volatile data storage as well as non-von Neumann computing. We are also interested in the electronic modulation of photonic components using phase change materials.
