Dr. Hannah Grant on Opportunities and Challenges in Silicon Photonics

The Spotlight Report

This week we spoke with Dr. Hannah Grant, who completed her PhD at UCSD with a focus on photonics on silicon. We last spoke with Hannah about her prior research on optical switches. Today, Dr. Grant walks us through her dissertation, titled “Opportunities and Challenges in Silicon Photonics Systems”. In addition, Dr. Grant shares her outlook on the graduate process, advice for the job search, and where the future of optical communication may be. As always, we thank our guest Dr. Hannah Grant look forward to our listeners comments!
