Congratulations on your graduation PhD Maziar Naiini
Congratulations on your graduation
Maziar Naiini from Iran has recently finished his doctoral studies in Silicon Photonics where he has presented new solutions for cost effective photonics systems. Last week he defended his PhD thesis "Horizontal Slot Waveguides for Silicon Photonics Back-End Integration".
Where are you from and where did you study before coming to KTH?
– I am from Iran. Prior to my doctoral studies at KTH I graduated with a Masters degree in Applied Physics in my home country.
What is your topic?
– The topic of my research is called "Silicon Photonics" which is a part of a much greater field called microelectronics.
Describe your topic in short.
– The goal of my research is to adapt the fiber optics communication for small scale applications such as personal computers and home entertainment systems. The fiber optics technology is currently being used as the backbone for the internet and wide area applications.
Tell us something about your results.
– I have been able to present new solutions for photonic systems that are cost effective compared to state-of-the-art technology. The platform that I have developed includes simulations, layout design, fabrication and a device testing instrument.
What will the future bring for your research topic?
– Foreseeing the future of the high-tech world is a rather tedious task. I think it is beneficial to be observant for the years to come, given the limitation of resources in the microelectronic research.
What are your future plans?
– I like the idea of developing the next generation of microelectronic solutions. I would rather focus on this plan.
