Our group is awarded the prestigious ERC proof of concept grant for the project Veritas. We will receive 150k euros for this project to develop versatile, reconfigurable light sources in photonic integrated circuits. Congrats, the Veritas team!
This news also appears at the University of Twente website.
On December 15th, Randy te Morsche successfully defended his Master’s project on “Stimulated Brillouin scattering and lasing in tellurite-covered silicon nitride photonics”. He worked on this project with his daily supervisor Yvan Klaver, and they have made great progress together.
Congrats, Randy! Enjoy your short break before rejoining us for the Ph.D. project next year!
Lou Kanger, a former master student from our group, received the KHMW Young Talent Graduation Prizes for his master’s project on optical frequency combs. Lou explored frequency combs integrated on a single chip and developed innovative ways to test them for applications in next-generation radio communication.
Currently, Lou works at Enlightra, a start-up company in the field of frequency combs in Switzerland. Prior to his departure to receive the prize, he also gave us an exciting presentation about the latest progress in optical frequency combs and a live demo of the up-to-date prototype from Enlightra.
Congrats Lou! We are so proud of you!
On November 9th, Jitse Boonstra successfully graduated from our group with Bachelor degree. He worked with Zheng on “Calibration and control of cascaded microring resonators using Extremum Seeking Control” for the last two months.
Congrats, Jitse!
On September 28, 2023, David hosts his inauguration ceremony for being promoted to full professor and the chair of the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente.
During the inauguration ceremony, David gave the lecture And light said: “Let there be sound!”. Group members of NLNP and LPNO, colleagues within the university, guests from the Netherlands and other countries in Europe, and friends and family from Indonesia, all joined the event to celebrate this big moment with David.
Congratulations, David! Wish both the light and sound will always resonate with you!
On Augest 22th, Aldi Fadhilah finished his half-year internship in our group. He worked on the stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon oxynitride photonics waveguide and its potency for the implementation of Brillouin dynamic grating under the daily supervision of Steven.
Based on his work during the internship, he passed his M.S. defense at the University Jean Monnet with flying colors. Aldi will continue his study as a Ph.D. student at the Technical University of Denmark. Good luck, Aldi! Wish you all the best during your Ph.D.
We are proud to announce that another paper from our group has been accepted at APL Photonics this month, titled “Linearized integrated microwave photonic circuit for filtering and phase shifting”.
Congrats, Gaojian and Steven!
On May 17th, Martijn van den Berg graduated from our group with Bachelor degree. He worked with Steven and the whole group on “Simultaneous True Time Delay and Notch Filtering photonic RF front-end” for the last half year.
Congrats, Martijn! And keep rowing forward!
We are pleased that our lastest paper titled “Brillouin and Kerr nonlinearities of a low-index silicon oxynitride platform” has been accepted at APL Photonics, and selected as Editor’s pick.
This is a collaborative work between our group and Prof. Andrea Melloni’s research group from Politecnico di Milano. Congrats to all authors!
Time flies fast. David has worked 12.5 years at the University of Twente since his Ph.D. To celebrate this very Dutch anniversary, he brought some Indonesian snacks this week to the whole group.
Congrats, David! Hope you and we as the whole group can make even bigger achievements in the next 12.5 years.
