Today we wrapped up the 5th ePIXfab SIlicon Photonics Design Course, at the Photonics UGent. Group in the beautiful city of Ghent. Thanks to the wonderful participants from around the world to make this an amazing week.

After a successful first edition, I'm excited to announce that Francois Leo, Bart Kuyken, and I are organizing the second edition of our workshop on Frequency Combs⭕️🌈 in Ghent!

Registrations are open; for more information: frequencycomb.be

Hope to see you there 😍 RT 🙏

Photonics UGent is looking for a new PhD researcher with excellent vision to work on new LiDAR architectures in the MarieSkłodowskaCurie NITELIDAR project. photonics.intec.ugent.be/contact/vacanc…

#ofc2024 is only a few weeks away. If you want to get a quick-start in silicon photonics, and get your hands dirty in our on-line photonic design environment based on the IPKISS tools of Luceda Photonics , then there is still time to enroll for my Short Course (SC454) on Monday.

🌟 Do you want to know more about Photonics Innovation? 🌟🚀

Here we introduce the implementation of the cutting-edge 'Micro-Transfer Printing technique' Photonics UGent. This innovative approach enables heterogeneous photonic integration, (1/4)

Congratulations to the teams at Photonics UGent, FBH and imec, who have had a paper accepted for presentation at CLEO Conference in May!
