AIM Summer Academy 2019
July 15, 2019 | AIM Photonics InstituteEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The AIM Photonics Academy—the educational initiative of the AIM Photonics Institute—will be holding a one-week intensive program on integrated photonics, including:
- Fundamentals track: a crash course on state-of-the-art devices, process flow, fabless photonics circuit design, design for manufacturing, application systems, and chip packaging and test.
- Applied track: practice workshops with leading commercial software tools for modeling, simulation, layout and error check of photonics integrated circuits (PICs); short courses in application systems, and chip packaging and test.
- Student teams: work on a conceptual study of a PIC solution for an application-specific system.
- Education track: includes a roster of instructors from MIT, RIT, University of Rochester, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, University of Delaware, Finisar, Synopsys, Lumerical, and Mentor.
The AIM Summer Academy 2019 will be held from July 22–26 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus.
A limited number of academic discounts are available upon request.
