In this episode, we welcome our special guest Abhishake Goyal. Abhishake is a PhD candidate in the Laboratory of Organic Photonics and Iontronics at Queen's university. His work focuses on the development and fabrication of semiconductor devices. The novel method they develop opens door to tunable photonic devices. We delve into the principles of semiconductors and the manufacturing processes used in his lab. Abhishake walks us through his day-to-day in the lab, being a father while doing graduate school, and his experience working in various parts of the world. On the topic of photons, in the introduction, we discuss an article on the first ever image of the shape of a single photon. We end the episode with the story of the life of Sir Charles Kuen Kao, the pioneer of fiber optics and the technology that led to the Internet.
