Vision

Our group performs research on advanced integrated photonic structures as platforms to enhance and control nonlinear and optomechanical interactions of light with matter.  We pursue applications in next-generation microwave photonic signal processing systems and advanced light sources.

We are part of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. Information about the NLNP group can also be found here.

Open Positions

We have several open positions for postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates to join our team. Details can be found in the vacancies page.

  • ERC Proof of Concept Grant
    Our group has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grant for Project SABER (Scalable Brillouin spectrum engineering in thin-film lithium niobate). In this project, we aim to achieve ultra-precise signal filtering for next-generation 6G communication using our in-house fabricated, thin-film lithium niobate-based photonic integrated circuits. The work is also closely aligned with the … Continue reading ERC Proof of Concept Grant →
  • EIC Pathfinder Grant
    Our group is part of the new European project, ULTRAPURE, funded by the EIC Pathfinder programme. In this project, we will focus on developing ultra-low noise laser sources, which are critical for precise atomic clocks, next-generation communication networks, and quantum technologies. Over the next three years, we will work with our partners: TU Braunschweig, Thales … Continue reading EIC Pathfinder Grant →
  • Our new spin-off
    We are excited to announce that our group’s spin-off company, Sabratha, officially launched last week! The company will focus on developing high-speed modulators and unique optical and RF filters on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits. This venture marks an exciting step in translating our cutting-edge academic research into commercial products that address the … Continue reading Our new spin-off →
