Prof. B M A Rahman

Prof. B M A Rahman, CEO of Rahman Photonics has world class research expertise on the design and optimisation of photonic devices. He was first in the world to develop the finite element code for photonics devices which was followed by the beam propagation method, junction analysis, and time domain approaches all based on the numerically efficient finite element method. He has the world-class expertise in the design and optimisation of a wide range of photonic devices. For his pioneering work on photonics modelling he has been awarded the Fellowships of all the three major photonics societies.
