Radwanul Hasan Siddique, Ph.D.

I am leading the Metaphotonics research group to advance Samsung's imaging and sensing research based on bioinspired and nanophotonic principles within Image Sensor Lab of Samsung Semiconductor Inc. located in Pasadena, USA.

​

I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Choo Lab at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA since April 2016. I have received my Ph.D. (summa cum laude) from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany in 2016 under the supervision of Hendrik Hölscher and Uli Lemmer.
I worked as a visiting researcher in the department of Chemistry with Silvia Vignolini at the University of Cambridge, UK in 2015.

​

Prior to that, I pursued an integrated program completing my MSc in photonics engineering under Erasmus Mundus EUROPHOTONICS program in 2012, funded by EU Commission where I attended Karlsruhe School of Optics and Photonics (KSOP) in Germany, Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Spain and CNRS laboratory Institute Fresnel in France.

I term my field of research interest as Bio-inspired Nanophotonics; which concentrates on understanding the underlying physics at the nanoscale of fascinating biologically evolved optical structures, developing affordable nanofabrication techniques to implement them, and incorporating the discoveries into device-level biomimetic engineering solutions for optoelectronic and biomedical applications. I have adopted interdisciplinary skills to answer my research questions, spanning across computational optics, imaging, and spectroscopies of bio(-inspired) systems, and nanofabrication.

 

I have been awarded with 8+ travel grants and best papers during my graduate research. My research has been featured in many media, including: National Academy of Sciences of the USA (NAS), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), BBC, National Geographic, Discovery channel, Nature Magazines, MRS Bulletin, SPIE Press, MIT Technology Review, Phys.org, EurekAlert! Science News etc.
