Kartik Srinivasan, Project Leader

Contact Information

Kartik Srinivasan is a Project Leader in the Nanofabrication Research Group in the CNST. He received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology, where his graduate research was supported by a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship. After receiving his B.S., he worked for one year at XPonent Photonics, a startup company based in Monrovia, CA. After completing his Ph.D., he continued at Caltech as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for the Physics of Informatio. In September 2007 he joined the CNST, where he is leading projects in the field of nanophotonics. Kartik has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Applied Physics Letters, Physical Review, Nature, and Science, on topics including microcavity lasers, chip-based cavity quantum electrodynamics, near-field optical probing, and the electromagnetic design and nanofabrication of photonic crystal devices.
