She was a summer intern in the optical Group at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in 2016. She joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University in 2008 after a year as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow (2007–2008) and is currently an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Photonics Interconnect. From 2009 to 2016, she was an associate editor for the IEEE Photonics Technology Letter. She was an elected member on the IEEE Photonics Society Board of Governance from 2016 to 2018. She was the general co-chair of Photonics in Switching and Computing (PSC) in 2017, 2019, and 2020. She holds seven granted U.S. patents and co-authored over 75 peer-reviewed journal papers and more than 115 papers in conference proceedings. She published four book chapters and gave over 15 presentations as an invited speaker at international conferences. Her research interests include photonic integrated circuits and interconnects, optics for computation, and co-design of electrical and photonic integrated circuits.
