SAKSHI GANDHI

I am a dedicated scientific researcher in theoretical physics with a strong focus on material science and photonics. I have completed my research work and submitted my Ph.D. thesis at the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, India. My academic journey has allowed me to develop deep expertise in analytical and numerical simulations related to photonics and optical physics fields that explore how light can be used in technology. I specialize in applied optics and work on improving the performance of optical systems using MATLAB programming. Thesis Title: Biosensing Applications of Annular Photonic Structures.
