Alemany, Rubén 963877007 - 88275 |
RESEARCHER |
|
On a first stage of my professional career I participated in several R&D projects on radio-over-fiber systems and microwave photonics technologies for telecom applications in the Nanophotonics Technology Center at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (NTC-UPV). I later worked on the development of photonic integrated sensors for biosensing applications in the Instituto de Ciencia de los Materiales de la Universidad de Valencia (ICMUV). Currently, I’m promoting the integration of photonic applications into Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) through the Application Support Center constituted in the Photonics Research Labs in the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (PRL-UPV) under the PICs4All European project while researching on integrated microwave photonic tuneable filters. | |||
