Time 8:30pm-10:00pm

Cardo Roma, Autograph Collection | Viale del Pattinaggio, 100 | 00144 Roma RM, Italy

In the framwork of the IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC), flagship meeting of the IEEE Photonics Society, that will be held from 10-14 November 2024 in Rome (Italy) our chapter propose a special session for the Photonics Industry Focus:

Photonic Product Development Cycle

The session will present the main aspects of the industrial Product development of a photonic device from the Design phase, to the requirements to guarantee the production processes up to the packaging issues when “high” volumes or “low” volumes are required from the market.

Session Chair

Guido Chiaretti

Speakers

Sara Pellegrini
STMicroelectronics, Scotland

CMOS SPADs: From Advanced R&D to Industrialization

Sara Pellegrini is the Imaging Communication and Academic Collaborations Manager at STMicroelectronics since July 2023. She joined ST in 2006 as a Characterization and Modelling Engineer and progressed to Technology Manager and Advanced Photonics Pixel Architect. She now defines communication strategies and coordinates academic collaborations within the Imaging subgroup.

Mark Shaw
STMicroelectronics

Industrialisation of High Volume Photonic Package Design

Mark Shaw obtained his Applied Physics degree in 1984 from the University of Wales Institute of Science and technology (Cardiff). After working at Plessy, Nortel, Pirelli Cavi, Bookham, Mesophotonics and Avanex he joined STMicroelectronics in 2006, where he is responsible for the package design of Mems and Photonics components.
