Rubab Amin received the B.S. degree with distinction (Summa cum laude) in electronics and telecommunication engineering from North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2012. He is currently working toward the Doctoral degree with The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA. He is a Member of the OPEN Laboratory team at The George Washington University. His research is focused on the design and demonstration of novel nanoscale electro-optic integrated modulators on a Si-photonic platform. His research interests include nanophotonics, plasmonics, electro-optic modulators, transparent conducting oxides, and low-dimensional material photonics. Among his breakthroughs are the first demonstration of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) based integrated Mach-Zehnder modulators on Si-photonic platform employing both photonic and plasmonic schemes and GHz-fast broadband operation. Rubab won the prestigious SPIE optics and photonics education scholarship in 2019 and has served as the vice-president for the OSA/SPIE student chapter at GWU for 2 years. Rubab has peer reviewed for several top journals in his field from publishers such as AIP, OSA, IEEE, IOP, etc. Rubab is a member of OSA, SPIE, and APS.
