Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Foo is a PhD candidate in Applied Physics at Caltech specializing in the simulation, nanofabrication, and characterization of optical metasurfaces with the goal of integrating them into conventional optical systems. With nine years of research experience spanning national labs and institutes in Singapore and the US, he combines hands-on experimental metrology—such as single-photon detector characterization—with computational design in nanophotonics and metamaterials. A First Class Physics graduate from Oxford and recipient of A*STAR funding, he bridges rigorous theoretical work and practical device engineering for optoelectronic applications. He brings a track record of collaborative, cross-disciplinary projects and an aptitude for turning complex photonic concepts into experimentally validated components.
