Summary
Rishabh Sahu is an optical engineer and physics PhD who brings eight years of hands-on experience bridging quantum optics and software-driven laboratory automation. He developed a quantum microwave-optics transducer during his PhD—contributing to the first demonstration of microwave-optical entanglement published in Science—and won ISTA’s Best Thesis Award. Rishabh pairs deep experimental skills (COMSOL simulations, cavity mode design, Fourier-domain analysis) with practical software engineering, having built multithreaded Python automation that coordinates tens of instruments for days-long, feedback-stabilized experiments. Now based in the UK and working at OLIX, he focuses on scalable optical systems that integrate rigorous modeling with reproducible data pipelines. Colleagues value him for turning complex multi-mode physical models into predictable experimental outcomes and for keeping code and hardware tightly coupled to accelerate research. Quietly, he often optimizes lab workflows in ways that reveal subtle failure modes before they impact results.
