The group, led by Prof. Frederic Gardes since its inception in 2012, focusing on the integration of various CMOS and non-CMOS photonic materials on silicon, providing a pathway toward monolithic integration. Our aim is to meet industrial system needs while also engaging in exploratory, blue-sky research. We are based at the Optoelectronic Research Center (ORC) at the University of Southampton, UK.
An example of our work is presented by Dr. Callum Littlejohns, a winner of the national ICT Pioneers award for ‘Information Overload.‘
The UK ICT Pioneers initiative, a collaboration between EPSRC and key stakeholders, recognizes exceptional UK doctoral students in ICT-related fields who demonstrate the commercial potential and impact of their research.
