Profesionales de dilatada experiencia
Para el OPTOEL2025 se contará con la participación de 5 profesionales de dilatada trayectoria en optoelectrónica y fotónica que desarrollan su labor profesional dentro y fuera de nuestras fronteras. Esta se localiza en institutos de investigación, en organizaciones científico-técnicas, en grandes empresas del sector, en universidades, y/o en la gestión tecnológica-empresarial de nuevas empresas emergentes en nuestro campo.
A través de estas ponencias se busca generar un espacio para compartir experiencias, conocimientos y líneas de trabajo en las diversas áreas temáticas que se abordarán en el OPTOEL2025. Su contribución será clave para enriquecer el diálogo e impulsar nuevas oportunidades.
Ponentes confirmados
Aude Martin holds a PhD in Physics from Université Paris-Saclay, where she specialised in the fabrication of photonic integrated circuits and conducted detailed theoretical and experimental investigations of extreme nonlinearities in photonic nanostructures.
Her contributions during her doctoral work significantly advanced the understanding of photonic nanostructure behaviours under nonlinear conditions. For over a decade, she has been a member of the Physics Research Group at Thales Research and Technology in Palaiseau, France, where her research has focused on free-space optical systems operating in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) bands.
Her recent work encompasses the development of cutting-edge technologies such as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR systems, free-space optical communication platforms, and advanced polarimetric imaging solutions. Aude’s interdisciplinary expertise bridges the domains of fundamental photonics and practical applications, enabling her to contribute to innovative advancements in optical system design.
Título ponencia: Architectures and Demonstrations of Sensing Systems and Free-Space Optical Communication at Thales Research and Technology: From the Short to the Mid-Infrared Regions.
Małgorzata Szczerska is a full professor at the Department of Metrology and Optoelectronics at Gdańsk University of Technology, where she leads a research group specialising in biophotonics and fibre-optic sensors.
Her work primarily focuses on understanding light-biological surface interactions to design bioinspired materials and devices, including sophisticated fibre-optic biosensors. Her research extends to other areas such as low-coherence interferometry in metrology, investigating the biocompatibility of optoelectronic materials with biological tissues, and developing electronic systems to support behavioural therapy for children with autism.
Małgorzata has authored over 75 publications and holds 10 patents, several of which have been recognised at international innovation exhibitions. She is actively involved in promoting science through OPTICA, where she serves as a Student Chapter Supervisor and a Senior Member, and she is a topical editor for the Journal of Optical Society of America A. Her dedication to mentoring has led to the supervision of numerous PhD students, with ongoing and completed doctoral theses enriching the field of biophotonics.
Título ponencia: Fiber optic temperature sensor.
Since 2003, his research has focused on developing optical fibre sensors using Bragg gratings for physical, mechanical, and biochemical applications. His work spans the design, modelling, and fabrication of sensors, as well as integrating sensitive materials to optimise performance. Christophe’s contributions include leading an ERC Starting Grant project to create minimally invasive optical fibre immunosensors for in situ cancer diagnosis.
He has been instrumental in advancing applied photonics through collaborations on several large-scale projects, collectively exceeding 6M€ in funding. As a co-founder of the spin-off company B-SENS, he continues to bridge the gap between academic research and industry applications. With over 150 journal publications, 200 conference presentations, two granted patents, and several pending, Christophe is recognised as one of the top 2% most-cited researchers in optoelectronics and photonics, according to Stanford University rankings.
Título ponencia: Plasmonic optical fiber grating biosensors: from their discovery to their possible industrialization.
His research centres on integrating indium phosphide-based lasers, modulators, and photodiodes into silicon photonics platforms to enhance functionality and performance. He focuses on high-speed optical transceivers for communication, wavelength-tunable devices for multiplexing and sensing, and advanced heterointegration techniques to expand on-chip capabilities.
Joan has authored over 130 peer-reviewed articles, contributed two book chapters, and holds eight patents. Beyond his research, he serves as a reviewer for leading journals such as Optics Express and Advanced Functional Materials and evaluates proposals for national funding agencies in Switzerland, France, and Spain. His contributions extend to mentoring PhD candidates and participating as a jury member in doctoral defences across Europe, solidifying his position as a leader in silicon photonics and optical integration.
Título ponencia: Heterogeneous integration of III-V materials on silicon photonics: the quest for optical gain and high-speed modulation on-a-chip.
She obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Oregon Health Science University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. She is currently an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Florida International University (FIU) and a Research Professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Medicine.
Her research focuses on developing optical polarization-sensitive techniques for medical imaging and disease diagnostics, particularly in women’s health. She has led multiple NIH- and NSF-funded projects and is a Fellow of SPIE, Optica, and AIMBE. She also serves as SPIE BIOS Program Track Chair for Tissue Optics and Chair for the Polarized Light and Optical Angular Momentum conference.
With over 80 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Ramella-Roman continues to drive advancements in biomedical optics and polarization-sensitive imaging.
