Francis Afzal

Francis Afzal received his Ph.D from Vanderbilt University in Electrical Engineering on December 2020. For his Ph.D work titled “Investigation of Photonic Crystal Nanobeams for Resonator Coupling, Modal Fingerprinting and Wavelength Filtering”, Francis worked under the direction of Dr. Sharon M. Weiss to investigate the optical properties of photonic… Read More

This week in the VINSE Spotlight Podcast Francis Afzal tells Alice Leach about photonic devices that have the potential to vastly increase the rate at which we can communicate data. Francis’ paper “O-Band Subwavelength Grating Filters in a Monolithic Photonics Technology” was published in IEEE Photonic Technology Letters. Read More
