Welcome to the Computational Photonics Laboratory at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, led by Professor Curtis R. Menyuk and Dr. Ergun Simsek. Our research group is at the forefront of computational photonics, pushing the boundaries of optical science and engineering through innovative modeling and simulation techniques.
Our diverse team of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers contributes to a vibrant research environment, tackling complex problems in photonics with creativity and rigor. We develop advanced models for optical fiber systems, photodetectors, and microresonators, enabling the design of next-generation communication technologies. Our work spans from soliton dynamics in optical fibers to the intricacies of Kerr frequency combs in microresonators. We leverage artificial intelligence to optimize and design photonic devices. Our team investigates temperature distributions in photodetectors and thermal instabilities in microresonators.
Join us as we illuminate the future of photonics through computational innovation and experimental validation. Whether you’re a prospective student, potential collaborator, or industry partner, we invite you to explore our cutting-edge research and discover how we’re shaping the future of optical technologies.
