Arka Majumdar is an optical scientist and a joint appointee with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington (UW), where he is an associate professor in the departments of electrical and computer engineering and physics. His research group works on extremely low energy opto-electronics to find applications in computing, communication, sensing, and energy-harvesting. In his research, he builds novel nano-photonic devices, that enable an extremely strong light-matter interaction, and manipulation of light at the nano-scale.

The vision of his research group is to use fundamental physical principles to engineer novel devices with unprecedented applications in the fields of computing, communication, and sensing. He champions the need for incessant communication between the computing nodes and the need for an efficient interface between the physical and digital worlds. The nano-scale devices engineered in his lab can enable that by making short-distance optical interconnects, making efficient optical sensors, and building optical wireless systems.

His research interests include developing a hybrid nanophotonic platform using emerging material systems for optical information science, imaging, and microscopy. He is co-founder and technical advisor of Tunoptix, a startup commercializing software-defined meta-optics.
