Arka Majumdar

Arka Majumdar is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Washington, Seattle. His research focuses on scalable nanophotonic systems, integrating quantum optics and electrical engineering to address challenges in optoelectronic device scalability. He leads the NOISE Lab, exploring applications in quantum information science, neuromorphic computing, and low-energy optical systems.

Research interests include cavity-enhanced nonlinear optics with 2D materials, reconfigurable photonics design, and overcoming disorder in nano-photonic devices. The lab aims to achieve single-photon-level functionality for quantum technologies and adaptive optics platforms.

Funded by federal agencies, industry, and foundations, his work bridges fundamental physics discoveries with practical engineering solutions. Students interested in optoelectronics or quantum systems are encouraged to contact him directly.

His academic affiliation includes the College of Arts & Sciences and cross-departmental collaborations with the Department of Electrical Engineering (ECE).
