Jinal Tapar is a Ph.D. scholar working under Dr. Naresh Emani at the department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad. She has recently completed her OC and will be graduating soon. Her research interest spans Semiconductor Nanophotonics, Non-Hermitian systems, All-dielectric tunable metasurfaces. In her Ph.D. with Dr. Emani’s group, she investigated the prospects of parity-time symmetric nanophotonic devices for light generation and manipulation bridging nanophotonics and quantum physics. Jinal is an active student member of SPIE, OSA, now renamed Optica, and IEEE Photonics society. She has published four journal papers and has presented in premier national and international conferences like META, SPIE, FiO, ICEE etc., resulting in 8 proceedings.
