I will be inactive here for the forseeable future... shifting to the blue place...

The room is starting to fill up for the 9th @epixfab Silicon Photonics Summer School, which is this year hosted by CORNERSTONE at @unisouthampton . Looking forward to exciting expert lectures, inspiring interactions and social activities with the 150 participants. #epixfab24

Last week, the PHORMIC project had a wonderful consortium meeting hosted by III-V lab in Palaiseau. Apart from the stimulating interactions and technical discussions, we went down into the city of photons for a wonderful dinner on the Seine.

@kristgy of @KTHuniversity shows the strengths of silicon photonic MEMS of @H2020_Morphic and @Phormic_EU at the @epixfab heterogeneous integration workshop. The low power consumption and compact footprint makes this a uniquely capable platform.

PHORMIC is proud to co-organize the @epixfab workshop on Heterogeneous integration today and tomorrow in Palaiseau near Paris. Our work is as heterogeneous as it gets, integrating MEMS and light sources on silicon photonics, presented by Kristinn Gylfason and Gunther Roelkens.

This summer, Photonics in Switching and Computing is collocating with the @IEEEPhotonics Summer T(r)ropicals. Join us in Barbados from 15 to 17 July for plenty of programmable and (re)configurable photonics. https://t.co/qWyXDPvPjl

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

Are you tired of feeling like a complete ignoramus on Silicon Photonics? @epixfab can change this, in its next Summer school, with world-class experts lecturing on all aspects of silicon photonics. Join us with Cornerstone in Southampton @unisouthampton https://t.co/skdFjun93N

#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 @lucedaphotonics , then there is still time to enroll for my Short Course (SC454) on Monday.

PHORMIC is proudly co-organizing the @epixfab workshop on Heterogeneous Integration on 23-24 April in Paris-Saclay, hosted by Thales. Join us to learn more about the integration of low-power MEMS and transfer-printed lasers on IMEC's silicon photonics. https://t.co/YJ97o6Eja8

Programmable photonics can be a game-changer for the adoption of photonic chips into new applications, opening up the technology to a much wider community of innovaters. Read our overview of the field in the latest issue of @OPNMagazine .

If you're at @PhotonicsWest , don't party too long tonight. Make sure to get to my talk on programmable photonics on Thursday morning: see you all at 8:00AM in Room 302. We have some exciting new results! @H2020_Morphic @Phormic_EU @PhotonicsUGent @@imec_int

Wakey wakey! I will be presenting our progress in Programmable Photonics at @PhotonicsWest on Thursday 8:00AM. Yes, you will need to get up early, but I will really try to make it worthwhile. @PhotonicsUGent @imec_int @H2020_Morphic @Phormic_EU @KTHuniversity @TyndallInstitut

We are looking in the @PhotonicsUGent (a research group of @imec_int) for a postdoc in the field of programmable photonics and photonic MEMS in the framework of the European project @Phormic_EU .

We wish everyone a PHORMIdastiC 2024. We look forward to a year of exciting research in photonic chips.

@WimBogaerts of @PhotonicsUGent presents the work of the PHORMIC and @H2020_Morphic projects on large-scale programmable photonics at #OpticaBICOP23 in London. How can programmable photonic chips boost the use of micro-scale light in a diverse range of applications.

I am proud to be elected one of the #OpticaFellows and the recognition this brings to our work at @PhotonicsUGent @ugent @imec_int

We had a very exciting (but slightly soggy) meeting with the @Phormic_EU consortium in Cork. Thank to @TyndallInstitut for being such great hosts.
