6th ePIXfab Silicon Photonics
Summer School
Held ONLINE
14-18 June 2021
Here you learn
all about silicon photonics
A perfect blend of
fundamental and advanced topics
ePIXfab’s 6th edition of the silicon photonics summer school
will be held ONLINE
The school will be held from 14-18 June 2021
Phases of the school
PHASE I: On-boarding through early-access of recorded lectures on fundamentals of silicon photonics
In this phase, you will get early access to multiple fundamental courses in silicon photonics. This phase will prepare you to follow the more advanced topics covered in the second phase of the school.
PHASE II: Advances in silicon photonics science and technology, and its emerging applications.
Starting with a short recap of the fundamental topics, you will be taken on a journey to discover the latest advances in silicon photonics along with its emerging applications.
How did the earlier participants rate the school?
Based on the feedback from the hundreds of participants from the last five editions of the school.
How will you benefit from the school?
