29 days since we (family with kids) were not allowed to checkin luggage Schiphol more than an hour before flight by arrogant/racist lady from Swissport. Still waiting for completion of investigations at Etihad Airways even after 29 days of the complaint. Etihad Help

Umar Khan Schiphol Swissport Etihad Airways Etihad Help Very strange and weird handling by Etihad Airways . They should have solved this case lot earlier.

Etihad Help 34 days since filing of the complaint. Is there something called customer care Etihad Airways Etihad Help? I was promised that investigations would conclude in 28 days but still await after 34 days.

It was satisfying to conduct a day-long hands-on training on designing photonic integrated circuits for the PhotonHub experience center organized by ePIXfab. #siliconphotonics #photonics #circuitdesign #PIC

Today we have the final review meeting of the H2020 MORPHIC project. While an in-person meetign would be even better, we are still enthusiastic to discuss our exciting results, and looking forward to take these to the next level in the The PHORMIC Project project.

Check out our latest publication in ACS Photonics. #publication

The The PHORMIC Project project and its partners wish all of you a Phormidable and Phantastic (in other words, a Phormic) end of 2022 and an even better 2023.

Happening right now SPIE Photonics West: Wim Bogaerts of Photonics UGent is delivering his invited talk on scaling of programmable silicon photonic circuits. imec

Come to my talk tomorrow SPIE Photonics West if you want to know about the integration of MEMS and liquid crystals into an established silicon photonics platform.

From MEMS to Liquid Crystals in Silicon photonics. Umar Khan of Photonics UGent shows how we plug in new low-power phase shifters in the standard platform of imec . Nice results from the project H2020 MORPHIC and European Research Council (ERC) PhotonicsSWARM. Niels Quack KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Had the pleasure of introducing curious minds at a primary school to photonics & electronics. Seeing their eyes light up as we explored the world of nanotechnology was amazing. These kids are future scientists & engineers who'll shape our world with their imagination & creativity

It was immensely satisfying to teach photonic circuit design PhotonHub training.Participants designed their 1st photonic circuit & delved into the captivating world of data analysis & learned to analyze/interpret the performance of their chip ePIXfab imec Photonics UGent

We are looking in the Photonics UGent (a research group of imec) for a postdoc in the field of programmable photonics and photonic MEMS in the framework of the European project The PHORMIC Project . imec-int.com/en/work-at-ime…
