EmadrezaSoltanian
Emadreza Soltanian is a graduate student member of the IEEE, who received his M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering as the 1st rank student from the National University of Iran (SBU), Tehran, Iran, in 2018. Since 2019, he has been working towards his Ph.D. degree with Photonics Research Group, Ghent University - imec, Ghent, Belgium. As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow (MSCA Action Ph.D. Fellowship), his main research focuses on the integration of III-V on Si narrow-linewidth widely tunable lasers and high saturation power semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) for telecom and medical applications within the Eu-funded H2020 Wideband Optical Network (WON) and MedPhab projects.
His research interests include the design, modeling, numerical simulation, fabrication, and characterization of devices and systems based on photonic integrated circuits (PIC), silicon photonics (SiPh), heterogeneous integration, and micro-Transfer printing (uTP).
