Announcing a Baltimore Chapter Event!
Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) Best Practices and Development Lifecycle
Featuring a panel of speakers from JHU-APL, Joint Quantum Institute at UMD, and the US Army Research Laboratory
Come and hear insights from PIC design practitioners, learn best practices, and network with colleagues
*** Note: We have adjusted the start time to 5:45 PM to provide a brief gathering period for food and refreshments.
Registration is required.
Refreshments will be provided! Please be sure to register so we can order enough food and drink.
Panel Speakers
Mahmoud J. Mehrabad received his PhD in quantum Optics from the University of Sheffield, UK, in 2021. His work was focused on developing semiconductor topological quantum photonic integrated circuits, for the generation, transfer, and manipulation of light at the single photon limit on-chip. He joined the Joint Quantum Institute at the University of Maryland in 2022 to work in Prof. Hafezi's Lab. His postdoc work is focused on the generation and manipulation of a new class of optical frequency combs on topological silicon nitride as well as semiconductor photonic crystal circuits.
Dr. Jeremiah J. Wathen is a former submarine officer in the US Navy and is now the Section Supervisor of JHU/APL’s Experimental Optics Section, a 12-person team devoted to realizing new optics and photonics technologies to address critical needs of the US Government and the US Department of Defense. In addition to his 8 years of active duty in the Navy, he has over 14 years of experience in prototyping and deploying integrated optical systems, fiber-optic systems and free-space optical systems for a variety of applications including telecommunications, tissue imaging and coherent imaging in turbid media. His academic record includes more than 20 publications spanning topics in quantum opto-electronics, integrated nonlinear optics and non-invasive coherent and diffuse imaging of tissue. Recently, Dr. Wathen has been instrumental at JHU/APL in building a team and capabilities devoted to the design, fabrication, testing and packaging of photonic integrated circuits and photonic microsystems.
Location and Directions
The meeting will take place in Howard County Cafeteria located in Lobby 1 of JHU APL’s campus. Lobby 1 can be reached through APL Drive off of Johns Hopkins Road. It is NOT recommended that you attempt driving through the APL Campus from Sanner Rd as some gates do not provide direct access to APL Drive.
Parking is available to the north-west and south of Lobby 1 (as shown below). You may park anywhere with a valid space.
A full map of the campus can be obtained here: (https://www.jhuapl.edu/about/visiting-apl/campus-maps).
