Does your company have an interest in developing integrated photonic and electronic systems?

Come and meet with our students and academics at our Annual Industry Day at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. During the day we will be showcasing some of the research and technological achievements so far of the UCL-Cambridge Centre. We will describe some example student projects and will give you the opportunity to meet both the students and academics involved with the Centre and consider offering our students the chance to contribute to your research agenda and make a real difference to your company.

We invite our industrial partners including Qioptiq, Oclaro, Toshiba, Penteract28 and any companies with an interest in integrated photonic and electronic systems technology to offer industry linked projects to our Masters and PhD students on the programme.

JOIN US on 12th April 2017 to:

  • Attend presentations from technology leaders
  • View the latest applications for photonics
  • Meet students and academics developing solutions for applications
  • See poster displays showcasing the latest research discoveries in integrated photonics
  • Explore collaborative research opportunities for your company
  • Discuss offering a mini-project or PhD to one of our outstanding students
  • Network with companies interested in photonics - refreshments & buffet lunch provided thanks to our sponsors HGF

We would like to thank our Sponsor, HGF Intellectual Property Specialists who have provided lunch and refreshments.

If you are from a company interested in offering a research project to one of our students, we would be especially pleased for you to join us for the day. We look forward to meeting you.

Our Speakers

Professor Alwyn Seeds

Professor Alwyn Seeds (UCL), Director of the IPES CDT

Professor Alwyn Seeds FREng, FIEEE, is Head of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at UCL, which includes some 50 researchers working on various aspects of photonics. The Department's photonics activities were highlighted by the 2008 RAE Panel as being of "undoubted international excellence". His key technical innovations have been in microwave photonics, an area now enjoying worldwide sales of >$0.3B He is the author of some 250 papers in this research area, over 60 of them invited, inventor on some 14 patents and has been Conference Chair/Programme Chair for many international conferences in photonics. Among his leadership roles he is the Vice-President for Technical Affairs of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-optics Society, the lead society for photonics within the IEEE. He is the founder/co-founder of three technology companies including Zinwave.

Professor Richard Penty

Professor Richard Penty (Cambridge), Director of the IPES CDT

Professor Richard Penty studied for his doctoral research in the Cambridge University Engineering Department on optical fibre devices for signal processing applications, receiving his PhD in 1989. He returned to Cambridge in 2001, having been a Professor at the University of Bristol. His research interests include high-speed optical communications systems, high brightness lasers, optical amplifiers, high speed and high power semiconductor lasers and radio over fibre and LAN systems. He has been an author of in excess of 400 refereed journal and conference papers and is Editor-in-Chief of IET Optoelectronics. He is a co-founder of Zinwave and Master of Sidney Sussex College.

Dr Raimund Mueckstein

Raimund Mueckstein

Dr Mueckstein is currently technical leader for the optical development of Head-up displays at Continental Automotive. The main focus of his work is on new Head-up display technologies which will be launched from 2019.

Dr Mueckstein graduated from Erlangen-Nuremberg University, Germany, with a Degree (Diplom-Ingenieur) in Electrical Engineering. In the same year, he started his PhD at UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering, focusing his research on Terahertz Near-Field Microscopy. After finishing his PhD studies in 2013, he stayed at UCL for one more year as a postdoctoral researcher investigating mechanisms of Terahertz generation. In 2014, he joined the German company Sirona as an optical hardware developer for medical devices. Since 2015, he has been working for Continental Automotive as an R&D Engineer, being responsible for the optical layout of Head-up displays.


Dr Darran Milne

Dr Milne is CTO and Executive Director of VividQ (formerly Penteract28). His company are developing components that will make holographic display truly practical and available for all for users. This includes new algorithms for the generation, transmission and display of holograms that allow real-time viewing of holographic video over a standard broadband connection using just off the shelf computer hardware.

Organised by

The University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) have joined forces to develop the next generation of photonic and electronic systems.

The two world-leading universities have combined their expertise in photonics and electronics to establish a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Connected Electronic and Photonic Systems (CEPS), leveraging their current strong collaborations in research and innovation. The Centre trains postgraduate students, using innovative teaching and learning techniques and collaborates closely with leading organisations in the field of photonics, worldwide.
