I'm currently doing my master by research with UTM's Photonic
Research Group. My supervisor is Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abu Bakar. My
co supervisor is Assoc. Prof Dr. Norazan.
My research field is to develop
a photonic switch. I am utilizing MEMs technology and electrostatic
based actuation. Right now, i'm doing my modeling. It is not complete
yet and i don't think i can publish it. The hand-drawn picture of
the proposed design of the photonic switch is shown above.
Up to now, my most happy thing
in research is that i'm learning things everyday, and trying to
find out a way to do somethings. I have also been making friends
with researchers around the world, and they are very friendlyl and
helpful too. i'll try put the relevant information which i manage
to find throughout my research duration.
