Présentation
Alberto PARINI Electrical Engineer and Ph.D. in Electromagnetics and Optics EXPERIENCE AND FORMATION Period: December 2014 - present Laboratory: FOTON/CNRS Laboratory (Lannion, FRANCE) Position: Postdoctoral research engineer Task: Exploration of all-optical switching functionalities for high throughput on-chip interconnects. Description: Postdoctoral research position within the FOTON/CNRS Laboratory, in the framework of the French national level project «3D- Optical-ManyCores» (3D Many-Core Architectures based on Optical Network on Chip). Aim of 3D-Optical-ManyCores is to investigate how the introduction of optical technologies could improve the energy efficiency and enhance the data rate of interconnects used in many-core architectures for high-performance computing. Partners of the research consortium are: FOTON/CNRS, INRIA Rennes and the Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL). Period: 2010 - 2014 Laboratory: Laboratory for Micro and Sub-Micro Enabling Technologies of the Emilia-Romagna Region (MIST E‑R Laboratory, Bologna, ITALY) Position: Optical Research Engineer Task: Numerical modeling of optical devices and simulation codes development Description: The Laboratory for Micro and Sub-Micro Enabling Technologies of the Emilia-Romagna Region (MIST E‑R Laboratory, www.laboratoriomister.it) is a public/private joint research structure on micro technologies, which federates together the Italian National Research Council (CNR), the Universities of Ferrara and Parma and several associated companies. Within MIST E-R Laboratory, I was member of the research department on "Micro and Nano Technologies for Integrated Optoelectronics, Optics and Photonics in Inorganic and Hybrid Substrates". In particular, I was in charge of the activities related to device modeling and numerical codes development. Period: 2007 - 2009 Laboratory: Telecom SudParis School of Engineering, (Paris Region, FRANCE) Position: Postdoctoral researcher Task: Design of photonic crystal waveguides for slow-light applications Description: Postdoctoral fellowship in the framework of the national level French project «L2CP - Lumière Lente dans les guides en Cristaux Photoniques», focused on the design of photonic crystal waveguides for slow-light applications. The partners in the project were also Thales-TRT (Palaiseau), Laboratoire de Photonique et Nanostructures-CNRS/LPN (Marcoussis), Ecole d'Ingénieurs TELECOM ParisTech and Institut d’Electronique, de Microélectronique et de Nanotechnologies-IEMN (Villeneuve d’Ascq). Aim of the project was the development of all-optical delay lines based on the photonic crystal technology. In this context, I was in charge of numerical simulations, masks drawing and experimental characterization of the fabricated structures. Period: 2006 - 2007 Laboratory: Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara (Ferrara, ITALY) Position: Postdoctoral researcher Task: Design of lithium niobate waveguides for nonlinear frequency generation and conversion Period: 2003 - 2006 Laboratory: Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara (Ferrara, ITALY) Position: Ph.D. Fellow in Electromagnetics and Optics Thesis title: Nonlinear effects in distributed feedback optical devices Supervisor: Professor Stefano Trillo, University of Ferrara Period: 2002 - 2003 Laboratory: Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara (Ferrara, ITALY) Position: Research fellow Task: Investigation of frequency conversion processes in optical waveguides Period: 1996 - 2001 Institution: Faculty of Engineering, University of Ferrara (ITALY) Activity: Master Degree (Laurea) in Electrical Engineering
Within the project, I am in charge of the work-package on modeling and proof-of-concept demonstration of new all-optical functions.
