Sunil A. Bhave's research focuses on tiny mechanical and photonic devices—things like miniaturized lasers, acoustic resonators, and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) switches—that can be built directly onto chips. His recent work applies these chip-scale components to practical technologies such as LiDAR (laser-based distance sensing), underwater communication, quantum computing hardware, and converting signals between microwave and optical (light-based) forms.
