Farhan Bin Tarik

Dr. Farhan Bin Tarik is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Cybersecurity Engineering at Florida Polytechnic University. Prior to joining Florida Poly, he was an assistant professor at Clark State College in Springfield, Ohio, where he played a key role in establishing “Regional Fabrication and Certification Training Labs-Laser Material Processing” project under the Air Force ManTech program supported by ARCTOS Technology Solutions LLC.

He has significant curriculum development experience in electrical engineering, silicon photonics and laser materials processing. Following his undergraduate degree in 2015, Bin Tarik worked as a core network engineer at Huawei Technologies Bangladesh Limited. He received extensive training in advanced information and communication technologies at Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, after being champion in Huawei’s global CSR competition, Seeds for the Future.

Bin Tarik’s research interests revolve around optoelectronics, silicon photonics, disordered and quasicrystalline optics, semiconductor fabrication and advanced manufacturing. Through his dissertation work at Clemson University, Subwavelength Engineering of Silicon Photonic Waveguides, he has tackled multiple problems in photonics, spanning areas in enhancing light-matter interaction, novel techniques in nanofabrication, and hardware and information security applications.

In 2023, Bin Tarik was one of the first recipients of the OASiS Fellowship, conferred by the Ohio-Southwest Alliance on Semiconductors and Integrated Scalable-Manufacturing (OASiS) and the University of Cincinnati. He is a reviewer for several prestigious journals published by IEEE, Elsevier, Optica, and Royal Society of Chemistry.
