Andrey VoloshinA qualified researcher who showed his ability to reach outstanding results in modern photonics. Working at the interface of fundamental science and industrial applications gave him a unique chance to develop state-of-the-art photonic devices. Andrey developed a fully integrated electrically pumped soliton microcomb in 2017. Moreover, management and startup experience taught him how to achieve the maximum result with limited resources.
Pouyan KeshavarzianPouyan received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in electrical engineering both from the University of Calgary in 2015 and 2019, respectively. From 2013-2016 he was with Garmin Canada working on hardware design of low power IoT radio modules and fitness sensors. From 2016-2018 his research was focused on microwave circuits for active phase-conjugating systems. Recently, the research from that work was published in IEEE TMTT. His current focus is on photon counting circuits and systems for high-speed quantum random number generation. This involves device, mixed-signal, and system design in DSM CMOS.
Luca NelaLuca Nela received his B.S. degree in Physical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2015. He then participated in a double degree program between Politecnico di Torino and Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France, from which he received his M.S. in Nanotechnologies for the ICTs and Quantum Devices in 2017. Finally, he joined the Power and Wide-Band-Gap Electronics Research Laboratory in EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, where he is currently pursuing a doctoral degree. His research interests include the design and characterization of power semiconductor devices.
