• Large-scale electronic-photonic integrated circuits for chip-scale systems, e.g., on-chip optical interconnects for high-performance computing
• Integrated optical modulators and transmitters for advanced modulation formats, e.g., QPSK and QAM, for next-generation optical and wireless communications systems
• Novel solutions for optical sources on silicon
