Programme
The 15th MIOMD conference will be held in an online format. Owing to the large geographical spread of the speakers and delegates, we will run the majority of the conference in an asynchronous format using pre-recorded presentations. In addition, our plenary presentations will be delivered live as webinars.
We are delighted to be able to confirm the following eminent speakers. Our speakers cover a wide range of topics from mid-infrared materials growth and fabrication, through to devices and systems applications.
Confirmed plenary speakers
All plenary talks will be live and running on British Summer Time (GMT +1).
III-V/Si photonic integrated circuits and their applications in spectroscopy
Gunther Roelkens - IMEC, Univ. Gent
Wednesday 1 September at 2:15pm - 3:15pm
Biography
Gunther Roelkens received a degree in electrical engineering from Ghent University, Belgium, in 2002 and a PhD from the same university in 2007, at the Department of Information Technology (INTEC), where he is currently full professor. In 2008, he was a visiting scientist in IBM TJ Watson Research Center, New York.
His research interest includes the heterogeneous integration of III-V semiconductors and other materials on top of silicon waveguide circuits, electronic/photonic co-integration and miniaturized sensing systems. He was holder of an ERC starting grant (MIRACLE), to start up research in the field of integrated mid-infrared photonic integrated circuits.
Metamaterial enhanced THz devices
Carlo Sirtori - ENS
Thursday 2 September at 2pm - 3pm
Biography
Carlo Sirtori joined Bell Labs in 1990 where he started his research career on quantum devices and made important contributions in the field of low dimensional semiconductor quantum structures such as the invention and the development of the “Quantum Cascade Laser”.
In 1997, he joined THALES Research & Technology (TRT) in France and in 2000 he became the head of the “Semiconductor Laser Group”. In 2002, he was appointed Full Professor at the University Paris Diderot and since 2018 he has moved to Ecole normale superieure, as the holder of the ENS-THALES Chair of the Centre of Quantum Devices.
Carlo Sirtori is the author of more than 280 articles in peer reviewed journals and has given some 150 invited talks at international conferences. He has received several prestigious awards such as the Fresnel Prize (European Physical Society) or the “Quantum Devices Award”. In 2010 he was awarded an ERC-advanced-grant for his pioneering research on light matter interaction.
Chip-based comb spectroscopy
Alex Gaeta - Columbia University
Thursday 2 September at 3pm - 4pm
Biography
Alex Gaeta received his PhD in 1991 in Optics from the University of Rochester. He joined the faculty in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University in 2015, where he is the David M. Rickey Professor. Prior to this, he was a professor in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University for 23 years.
He has published more than 250 papers in quantum and nonlinear optics. He co-founded PicoLuz, Inc. and was the founding Editor-in-Chief of Optica. He is a Fellow of the OSA, APS, and IEEE, and was awarded the 2019 Charles H. Townes Medal from the OSA.

Ted Masselink - HU Berlin
Friday 3 September at 2pm - 3pm
Biography
W. Ted Masselink is professor of physics at the Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany, specialising in the physics of optoelectronic devices and device-related materials. His group works in the areas of molecular-beam epitaxy, quantum cascade lasers, quantum-dot light emitters based on GaP/InP, Integration of III-V on Si for electronic applications, and electronic noise in sub-micrometer strained and metamorhphic structures.
He has authored or co-authored over 300 refereed publications and 16 distinct patent disclosures. Masselink was previously at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York and received a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in Urbana.
