Projects overview:

1. In Project 1 we aim at the development of Inverse-design of integrated electro-optic modulators for energy-efficient photonic neuromorphic computing.

2. In Project 2, we aim at the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictive model as a tool for climate change mitigation which will receive data from local chip-scale sensors alerting on gas pollutant dispersion in air of greenhouse gases Methane, Nitrous oxide and agricultural Ammonia - critical gases among the major indicators of air pollution causing the global heating effects.
