Portfolio Manager
imec
Leili Shiramin received her Ph.D. degree from the Photonics Research Group at Ghent University-imec, Belgium, in 2017. Her doctoral work focused on the design, fabrication and characterization of Silicon Photonics and Silicon Nitride Photonics devices. After several years of industrial experience in both technical and managerial roles in the Photonics and RF domains, she joined imec in early 2022. She is currently Portfolio Manager in the Photonics domain.

New Materials for Enabling High-performance Photonic Devices and Emerging Applications
To meet AI-driven performance requirements, or to enable emerging application domains, it is necessary to integrate silicon photonics and silicon nitride photonics platforms with new materials. We will discuss these materials—including lithium niobate, III–V, GeSi, BTO, and polymers—alongside the devices they enable and their associated challenges, particularly in the context of gain elements such as lasers and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), as well as modulators.
