Lightium

Dr. Amir H. Ghadimi co-founded Lightium AG in 2023 to advance thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for high-volume production. With 15+ years of expertise in integrated photonics, MEMS, and micro/nano technology, he previously led PIC research activities at CSEM. He has secured significant funding from private investors and public grants, including Horizon Europe projects like ELENA, PATTERN, and LOLIPOP. Holding a PhD from EPFL (2018), he drives Lightium to redefine high-speed, energy-efficient photonics for datacenters, AI, quantum computing, and telecom.
