Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThariq Shanavas is a Lidar Scientist and physicist with a decade of experience designing lasers, optical sensors, and imaging systems, now applying that expertise at 3DEO in Boulder, Colorado. He earned advanced degrees from the University of Colorado Boulder and built the smallest (200 μm) optical gyroscope to date, leveraging nonlinear integrated photonic resonators to boost SNR by more than tenfold. Thariq combines hands-on simulation skills in Comsol, Lumerical and Zemax with custom numerical tools—he developed a finite-difference Maxwell solver that reduced time complexity and unlocked solutions for deep-tissue optical microscopy. His background spans optics, integrated photonics, FPGA controllers, and neural-network equalizers, reflecting a rare mix of experimental, theoretical, and computational strengths. Known for translating hard physics into practical engineering, he has repeatedly pushed device-scale limits and optimized system throughput in both lab and industrial settings.
