About
Sunil Mittal joined Northeastern University in August 2021, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park. Thereafter, he continued at Maryland as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Joint Quantum Institute. He also holds Master’s degrees in Physics and Optoelectronics, and spent two years in industry working on optical telecommunication products. His research interests span quantum and nonlinear photonics, topological and non-Hermitian physics, and two-dimensional materials.
