Bio :

Karim Hassan received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Burgundy, Dijon, France, in 2013 on the development of thermo-optical plasmonic routers for telecom applications, in the framework of the European project FP7-PLATON. Since 2014, he has been with the CEA-Leti (France) as a Research Fellow. He has been involved in both industrial R&D projects and collaborative projects either as a technical contributor, as WP Leader and Project Board member. His research interests include the design, fabrication, and characterization of photonics integrated circuits, hybrid III-V on silicon laser sources, and topological optimization for nanophotonics. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 journal publications, conference papers, and patents. Since 2022, Karim HASSAN is the Head of Silicon Photonics Laboratory under the Optics and Photonics Division at CEA-Leti.
