Next-generation nanoelectronics and nanophotonics
We research integrated digital, analog and photonic circuits and systems ("microchips").
Our doctoral students design microchips whose properties we measure electronically and optically in our laboratories. The research work is "fabless", i.e. we cooperate with world-leading chip manufacturers and academic partners to produce our chips.
Electronic and photonic chips can be used for wireless and wireline communication, microprocessors, radar, lidar, metrology and quantum signal processing.
„Research into novel nanophotonic-nanoelectronic circuits and systems will not only increase signal processing speed and enable new types of systems, but also significantly improve energy efficiency.”

„Discovering the causes of phenomena, whether scientific or social, gives me great pleasure and I believe that I will never stop learning new things.”
