Dr. Abdurrahman Javid Shaikh

Established academic and researcher with 17 years of experience working at national and international universities. Serves in many boards and committees at university level. Reviewer with national grant scheme, reputable publishers and conferences. Awardee of international SPIE Optics & Photonics Scholarship, USM Fellowship & RU-PRGS grant. Published in impact factor journals and international peer-reviewed conferences. Proficient in design of photonic devices and integrated systems using industry-standard tools. Highly skilled in computational electrodynamics, device TCAD (FEM), 3D modeling of optical devices (FDTD/FDFD), design and optimization of optoelectronic and passive photonic devices for short reach optical interconnects and SoC applications. Thematic areas of interest include next-generation computing and renewable energy (thermoelectricity) technologies. Open to integrated photonics research and design opportunities in industry and academia alike. I love to cycle and play cricket, badminton, and volleyball. Appreciating nature, art and sometimes cooking takes considerable amount of my free time.
