Prof. Mookherjea joined the UCSD faculty in July 2003. His current research focuses on photonic devices, and chip-scale nonlinear and quantum photonics. At MIT, his research contributed to early work on remotely-pumped architectures for optical distribution networks. At Caltech, he received the Charles Wilts thesis prize, awarded for outstanding independent research in Electrical Engineering leading to a PhD. As assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering department at UCSD (2003-2008), he was appointed a Hellman Faculty Fellow (2004-2005) and has received the NSF CAREER award (2007-2012). He was awarded tenure in 2008, and was elected OSA Fellow in 2013.
