In September 2019 Devika commenced her Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering with the Radio and Optical Communications Lab at Dublin City University. Her current research interests include advanced modulation formats and their applications in converged optical access networks, mmWave generation using optical heterodyning, characterization and applications of tunable semiconductor lasers, coherent optical communications and FSOC.
Devika received her Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Telecommunication from Amity University, India in 2014. In 2015 she started her master degree in Communication Engineering from VIT University, Vellore, India and in 2016 interned at CSIR-National Physical Laboratory where she modelled the attenuation of free space optical communication (FSOC) in urban environments. Later in 2017, she experimentally analysed the attenuation of FSOC in presence of fog at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD). She joined IITD as a research fellow and worked for two years on the analysis of Radio over Fiber technology for different modulation schemes in simulations and experiments.
