President: Andrei Isichenko
Andrei is a PhD student in Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab. He received his B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Engineering Physics at Cornell University in 2018. His research is focused on photonics for atomic and precision sensing systems. Outside of work, Andrei enjoys mountain biking and rock climbing. [email protected] Vice President: Emily Trageser
Emily is a Materials PhD student in the DenBaars group and a member of the Solid State Lighting and Energy Efficiency Center (SSLEEC) at UCSB. She received her B.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Penn State in 2020. Her research is focused the growth and fabrication of InGaN-based blue and green edge-emitting laser diodes.
[email protected] Treasurer: Rosalyn Koscica
Rosalyn is a Materials PhD student in Professor John Bowers's group. She received a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Cornell University in 2020. Her research focuses on quantum dot lasers for silicon photonics. Outside of work, Rosalyn enjoys photography and nature.
[email protected] Secretary: Ethan Kim
Ethan is a Masters student in Professor Daniel Blumenthal's group. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering at UCSB in 2023. He is passionate about integrated photonics and is currently working on an on-chip modulated optical spectrum analyzer.
[email protected] Faculty Advisor: Prof. John Bowers
Professor John Bowers, Director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency & of the Center for Energy Efficient Materials, Fred Kavli Chair of Nanotechnology and head of the Optoelectronics Research Group, began the UCSB Student Chapter of the Photonics Society in 2012 with Jared Bauters, and remains the faculty advisor for the group.
Society Advisor: Dr. Demis John
Demis was a founding officer of the UCSB IPS in 2012. He received a doctorate from the research group of Dr. Dan Blumenthal in 2012, having studied low-loss glass waveguides, then worked at Praevium Research, Inc making new light sources for medical imaging and spectroscopy until 2017. He currently works at the UCSB NanoFab. He is an advisor for the Photonics Society continuing some of the institutional knowledge, in addition to industry liason by keeping us in contact with local photonics companies. Apart from photonics, his interests include sailing, cycling, science outreach/teaching, and radio DJ'ing at KCSB 91.9FM.
