Summary
Mohamed Seghilani is an Optical Sensing Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently developing sensing and photonics systems at Apple in the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds a PhD in Laser Physics and Optoelectronics and combines deep academic expertise with hands-on skills in Python/C++ simulation, FDTD and ray-tracing, and characterization of III-V semiconductor lasers. Comfortable taking projects from concept through feasibility demonstrations, he collaborates across multidisciplinary teams while also writing simulation and control software. His work spans optical sensing, LiDAR, fiber-based manipulation of ultrafast pulses, and multiscale modeling of photonic devices—bringing both experimental and computational perspectives. Outside the lab he pursues observational astronomy, a hobby that reflects his knack for precision instruments and long-duration observation projects.
