On-Chip Photonics

Dr. Alina Karabchevsky is a full professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ben-Gurion University (BGU) of the Negev and heads the Integrated Photonics Center at BGU, which explores the interaction of light and matter on a chip. She serves as Chair of the IEEE Women in Engineering Affinity group, Israel section. Dr. Karabchevsky holds a PhD in electrooptics engineering. She was the recipient of the Alma Mater President’s Award for “Outstanding Woman in Science”. She gained her postdoctoral experience at the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton, UK. Her main research interests lay in the areas of integrated photonics and microfibers, all-dielectric photonics, plasmonics, on-chip spectroscopy, and optomechanics. Dr. Amol Choudhary is an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, and heads the UltraFast Optical Communications and High-performance Integrated Photonics (UFO-CHIP) group. He was previously an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow with the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton, UK, and the Australian Government’s Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) fellow with the University of Sydney, Australia. He holds a PhD in optoelectronics from the University of Southampton, UK. He was the recipient of the Optica’s Ivan P. Kaminow Outstanding Early Career Professional Prize in 2018 and the Institute of Engineers India (IEI)’s Young Engineer Award (YEA) in 2020.
