iPL Postdoctoral Scholar Bei Shi received a Best Paper Award at the Asia Communications and Photonics Conference (ACP) held in Chengdu, China on November 2-5, 2019. The award was sponsored by the Optical Society of America (OSA). This is a well-deserved recognition for the development of a MOCVD-based heteroepitaxy approach that offers a practical path…
Shannon Lee, an ECE undergraduate student and recipient of an Edison Scholarship, presented her poster for a campus wide research colloquium. During the summer, Shannon worked closely with iPL Ph.D. students to develop integrated photonic technologies for remote sensing of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Victoria Rosborough received the Best Student Paper Award 2nd Prize at the Optical Society of America (OSA) Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon and Nanophotonics (IPR) Conference for her paper titled “Monolithic Integration of Widely-Tunable DBR and DFB Lasers with One-Step Grating Formation.”
IPL Ph.D. student Hongwei Zhao was selected to participate in Rising Stars 2019, an academic career workshop for women in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science (EECS) hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1. Launched at MIT in 2012, the annual event has since been hosted at the University of California…
Prof. Klamkin has received the PIERS 2019 Young Scientist Award (YSA). He was presented with this award at the Photonics and Electromagnetics Reasearch Symposium (PIERS) in Rome, Italy, on July 19, 2019.
Prof. Klamkin has received the DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA). The objective of the DARPA YFA program is to identify and engage rising research stars at U.S. academic institutions and introduce them to Department of Defense needs as well as DARPA’s program development process. The YFA program provides funding, mentoring and industry and DoD contacts…
Jonathan Klamkin and Larry Coldren, both in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and affiliated with the Optoelectronics Technologies Center (OTC), have received one of twelve highly competitive NASA research awards to produce low-SWaP integrated micro-photonic circuits for satellite-based Lidar applications. The three-year award is part of the space agency’s $14 million Advanced…
Yisbel Marin, who is visiting from the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna where she works with Prof. Fabrizio Di Pasquale on fiber and integrated sensors, received the Best Student Presentation award at the symposium on “Frontiers in Biological Detection” at SPIE Photonics West BIOS. Yibel presented her paper “Silicon photonic biochemical sensor on chip based on balanced…
UCSB ECE Professors Clint Schow, Adel Saleh, Jim Buckwalter, Jonathan Klamkin, and Larry Coldren win a grant to develop integrated photonics technology that will make it possible to incorporate photonics right onto the switch chip, eliminating the need for comparatively inefficient copper wiring. The team projects at least a 90-percent reduction in network power usage…
Prof. Klamkin’s proposal “Silicon Photonic Integrated Nanomaterials (SPIN)” was selected for a Boston University College of Engineering Dean’s Catalyst Award. With this grant, the Integrated Photonics Group will develop new materials, including graphene…
