Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPetr Markov is an Optical Scientist with over a decade of experience designing, testing, and integrating photonic systems across industry leaders including Meta, Apple, and NeoPhotonics. He combines deep hands-on expertise in die- and module-level testing, fiber-to-chip coupling, polarization control, and high-speed electro-optic characterization for coherent communications with strong automation skills (C#, VB.NET, MATLAB, LabVIEW). His background spans simulation and fabrication—from FDTD/PWE and FEM modeling to multi-layer e-beam lithography and deposition—giving him rare end-to-end fluency in PIC architecture and debugging. A seasoned trainer of technicians and former software developer, he bridges hardware and software, translating complex experimental workflows into reliable automated test systems. Based in San Jose with a PhD foundation, he’s comfortable both in clean rooms and in code, often surfacing subtle optical failure modes that improve yield and system performance.
