SUMMARY:Women in TechWorks: Fireside Chat with Farah Comis\, CEO of Altro Photonics
DESCRIPTION:Farah Comis is the CEO of Altro Photonics.  She completed her PhD in the Optical Networks Group at University College London (UCL)\, supervised by Dr. Alfonso Ruocco. She holds an MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from UCL and an MRes in Connected Electronic and Photonic Systems from the University of Cambridge. \nHer PhD thesis\, Integrated Photonic Platforms for Next-Generation Optical Transmitters\, focused on integrated photonics using high-index-contrast platforms including silicon nitride on insulator (SiNOI) and lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI). She developed state-of-the-art silicon and lithium-niobate modulators and quantum devices\, resulting in first-author publications in Optics Express and Optics Letters\, a patent filing\, and presentations at IEEE Silicon Photonics and CLEO\, as well as an invited talk at the CORNERSTONE User Day. \nAlongside her research\, Farah is spinning out technology from UCL into a spin-out. She is part of the Future Worlds accelerator and previously participated in the 50:50 program backed by 50 Years VC\, supporting the commercialisation of an integrated photonics platform.
