Aditya Malik

Aditya Malik received the bachelor's degree from Delhi University, New Delhi, India, in physics, following which he joined the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India, for an M.Sc. program in physics. He received the Ph.D. degree from the Photonics Research Group, Ghent University, Belgium, where he developed a novel CMOS compatible waveguide platform beyond the telecommunication wavelength range. After completing the Ph.D. degree, he worked on various topics, e.g., realizing integrated gas sensors, external cavity tunable lasers, and wavelength demultiplexers operating in mid-infrared. He is currently a Staff Scientist with the University of California, Santa Barbara, where his research focuses on heterogeneous integration of III–V materials on silicon-based waveguides in the datacom to mid-infrared wavelength range, high-speed low-energy consumption transceivers for datacom application, and passive silicon photonic devices. He was a DAAD Fellow with FU Berlin during the master's studies. He has authored or coauthored more than 40 journals and conference papers, which have been cited more than 800 times.
