Bio

Rubaiat received his undergraduate degree in Applied Physics from the University of Tokyo in 2017. He then moved to the University of California San Diego where he finished his PhD in Physics under Professor Richard Averitt in 2023. During his PhD, he discovered light-induced terahertz parametric amplification and photonic time crystal state in excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5. He has also demonstrated efficient nonresonant nonlinear magnon generation in a Mott insulating Heisenberg antiferromagnet Sr2IrO4 as well as broadband optical control of plasmonic modes in semiconducting metamaterials.

Currently, Rubaiat is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University working on terahertz field-induced ultrafast dynamics in van der Waals antiferromagnets under the guidance of Professors Tony Heinz and Aaron Lindenberg. His research interests also broadly include cavity control and Floquet/Kapitza engineering of quantum materials.
