Partner Investigators
Our Partner Investigators include world leaders in the field of optical frequency combs and contribute to the guidance of the Research themes. They are also designed to be end-users of microcomb technologies.
Professor John Bowers
John is a world-renowned pioneer of photonic chip technologies with achievements in combs for information processing, laser stabilisation and frequency synthesis.
John O’Meara
John is the Chief Scientist at the W. M. Keck Observatory and will ensure that our breakthrough microcombs are incorporated in programs using the world’s largest optical telescope.
Leif Oxenløwe
Leif is a Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and will collaborate on harnessing combs for breakthrough demonstrations in optical fibre communications.
Aleksandra Foltynowicz
Aleksandra is a Professor at Umeå University and will use our microcombs to achieve breakthroughs in spectral sensing.
