Fariah Hayee, Ph.D., Optical Metrology Engineer, Meta/Facebook

Fariah Hayee is an Optical Metrology Engineer at Meta Reality Labs, Facebook. Before joining Meta, she worked as a physicist and scientist at Applied Materials where she gained expertise in waveguide device metrology and process metrology. At Stanford University, Fariah served as a graduate research assistant and was involved in the development and characterization of visible quantum emitters in 2D materials. She designed techniques to correlate confocal photoluminescence and low-voltage scanning transmission electron cathodoluminescence of suspended hexagonal Boron Nitride thin-films. Her work has resulted in the imaging of nanometer-level structures of radiative emitters and the localization of emission beyond the diffraction limit, allowing her to correlate defect structures to their spectral properties. Fariah holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, as well as a Master's and Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bangl...
