Alikhan G. Aitbayev is an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Physics Major at Nazarbayev University. He has experience working in Dr. Valagiannopoulos's Metamaterials Modeling and Design Group and Dr. Orazbayev's Wave Physics Lab at NU. Passionate about Electromagnetic inverse design boundary-value models (photonic devices, design of antennas). Actively participates in IEEE NU Student Chapter and DataSci NU. With a keen interest in Electromagnetic Theory and Data Science, He aspires to pursue a master's degree in the related areas/enter the R&D workforce, and make an impact in the academic/corporate field.
Bachelor (in progress)
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The application of photonic crystals is a progressive field with various applications for today’s applied physics and engineering. To contribute progress to the field requires knowing several physical disciplines such as Electromagnetic theory, Quantum mechanics, photonics and optoelectronics with solid-state physics. As you may see, our research topic narrows down to studying PDW (Periodic Dielectric Waveguides). Our goal is to prepare such design that would carry the light (Gaussian beam) with as less losses and leakages as possible. Although only raw version of the structure was selected, further in the research we plan to add ML (Machine learning) techniques with regard to the shape and local changes of the structure for its improvement
