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.
