EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Photonics Hybrid Integrated Circuits
Online Event



EPIC Hybrid Photonic Chips is an online meeting for photonics companies focused on the latest advances in hybrid integration technologies for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Hybrid integration combines different materials, components, and fabrication processes to create photonic integrated circuits with optimized performance and functionality. The event features presentations and discussions from industry leaders within EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium. Learn about the latest advances in hybrid integration technologies, emerging applications of hybrid photonic chips, and challenges facing the industry. The event provides an opportunity for attendees to connect and collaborate with peers, exchange ideas and best practices, and gain valuable insights into the future of hybrid photonic chips in areas such as telecommunications, data centers, sensing, and quantum technologies.

Senior Project Manager at Fraunhofer HHI

Ruggero Loi was born in Cagliari (Italy). In 2013 he graduated with a M.Sc. degree in Applied Physics at University of Cagliari. In 2019 he attained a Ph.D. in Engineering Science – Photonics, at Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC), Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland. He pioneered the heterogenous integration of III-V devices onto different photonic platforms by micro transfer printing (MTP) since 2014 and has authored several scientific publications and patents in the field.
In 2019 he joined X-Celeprint Ltd., leading the development of MTP solutions for integrated photonics in Irish and EU research projects and for private customers. He is now working on the development of the supply chain for MTP with the aim to accelerate the deployment of MTP in production;
R. Loi is member of the Optical Society of America since 2017.
