She is a principal research scientist at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT), in the Electronic Materials Research Group of MIT's Microphotonics Center and Materials Research Laboratory.{{r|mit}}
==Education and career== Agarwal is originally from [[India]]; her mother was a botanist and her father was an academic and documentary filmmaker.{{r|optica}} She earned a doctorate in electrical engineering from [[Boston University]] in 1994.{{r|x}} Next, she became a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, working there with [[Lionel Kimerling]],{{r|optica}} and has remained there since, with the exception of three years from 2001 to 2004 working with Clarendon Photonics, where she was developing a novel optical filter.{{r|x}}
==Recognition== Agarwal was named a Fellow of [[Optica (society)|Optica]], in the 2022 class of fellows, "for pioneering contributions to integrated mid-infrared photonic sensing, detection, imaging, and leadership in training the next generation in photonics manufacturing".{{r|optica}}
