I am Gizem Karslioglu, a Senior Photonics Scientist and Technical Lead specializing in fiber optic sensing and photonic integration. I hold an MS in Electrical Engineering focused on RF and digital design, and an MS in Applied Physics/Photonics from Johns Hopkins University, with a strong foundation in optical and photonic detectors, laser systems, RF and microwave design, FPGA and analog circuit design, and digital signal processing. My work blends photonics, semiconductor fabrication, and biochemical device integration to advance photonic fabrication, process integration, and packaging. My research and professional experience span lithographic patterning of semiconductor thin films, bio-integrated microdevices, microalgae-based bio-PV cells, and photonic methods for low-phase-noise microwave signal generation. I have hands-on expertise in lithography, deposition, patterning, splicing, cleaving, and packaging, and I aim to contribute to cutting-edge photonic fabrication, process integration, and chip design/simulation in interdisciplinary settings.…I am Gizem Karslioglu, a Senior Photonics Scientist and Technical Lead specializing in fiber optic sensing and photonic integration.
