CHTM Students Move On To Cornell and Yale
July 26, 2018
Two of CHTM’s former graduate students, Mohsen Nami and Hamed Pourbeyram, have moved on to bigger things. The recent graduates are now continuing research at prestigious institutions.

Hamed Pourbeyram
Hamed Pourbeyram received his Ph. D. degree in Spring 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Arash Mafi at the University of New Mexico. During his Ph. D. research, Hamed studied nonlinear and quantum aspects of light propagation in multimode optical fibers. Hamed has published 8 refereed journal articles, with six as the first author and a few more in the queue during his Ph. D. research. Hamed currently works as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Cornell University with Prof. Frank Wise. His research at Cornell includes studying the nonlinear effects and ultrashort pulse dynamics in optical waveguides. He looks forward to developing the next generation of fiber lasers, OPOs, and their applications. He is also currently involved in developing nonlinear ultrafast fiber for hyper-spectral nonlinear microscopy.

Mohsen Nami
Mohsen Nami received his Ph. D. degree in September 2017, under the direction of Prof. Daniel Feezell at the University of New Mexico. During his Ph. D. research, Mohsen developed epitaxial growth and nanofabrication techniques for electrically injected GaN-based nanowire light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Mohsen published more than 15 referred journal articles, with five as the first author during his Ph. D. research. He also won the Optical Science & Engineering (OSE) program’s 2018 Best Dissertation Award Winner. Mohsen currently work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Yale University with Prof. Jung Han. At Yale, he is working on design, MOCVD growth, fabrication and characterization of high-power nitride-based vertical transistors.
