Work from Student Siavash Ghormish Featured by Physics Review Applied, BYU ECEN Department

BYU Graduate Student Siavash Mirzaei-Ghormish is being recognized for a recently published paper, "Nonlinear Optical Binding." The paper, which focuses on manipulating small particles using strong beams of light (optical binding), was published April 21st, 2025 as an editors suggestion article in APS Physical Review Applied. While a lot of previous work has been done in optical binding, Siavash's work focuses on the theory of non-linear interactions, and develops a framework for understanding how these effects change optical binding at the nanoscale.

Julie Des Jardins Visits the CamachoLab

Chandler Parkin

Julie Des Jardins is the director for Diversity of Inclusion at the Center for Quantum Networks, so naturally her curiosity was piqued when she heard about BYU's unique researchers. BYU is special among modern universities in the quantity of undergraduate researchers that it employs, and that is especially true for the CamachoLab which employs many more undergraduates, than it does graduate students. So on October 5 Julie came to BYU to see what we are all about. She got to meet the team and share just a little about what she does at the Center for Quantum Networks and she mentioned many opportunities that CQN has for university students, including the University of Arizona's Quantum Information master's program (more information about that here).

Christian Runs in the Boston Marathon

April 29, 2023 07:32 PM
All brains, no brawn? Not Christian. In addition programming Simphony, BYU's opensource photonic circuits simulator, Christian is an avid runner. He's been running since he was little and despite his preference for Python, he is by far the fastest member of the Camacho Lab.

November 28, 2022 10:57 AM
Simphony—a simulator for photonic circuits developed by CamachoLab—reached 4000 downloads in the month of October. This number was reached in part by Simphony now being listed as a dependency for GDS Factory. Main contributors to Simphony include Sequoia Ploeg, Christian Carver, Skandan Chandrasekar, and Austin Probst. The repository for Simphony can be found on the CamachoLab GitHub. Further details can also be found on our Computational Photonics research page.
