Workshop “Photonics in AI: Challenges and Applications”

We are excited to co-organise the workshop “Photonics in AI: Challenges and Applications”, co-located with OECC 2026, together with our EU–ROK partner project NEHIL, on 🗓 Sunday, June 28, 2026, in 📍 Busan, South Korea.

Key topics of this workshop include:


📌 Technology enablers

  • Emerging photonic device technologies for neuromorphic architectures
  • MEMS and phase-change devices for reconfigurable photonic systems
  • Heterogeneous integration of InP with Silicon Photonics platforms
  • Novel materials: Barium Titanate (BTO), SiOC, MoS₂, and graphene-based modulators and detectors
  • Advances in on-chip photonic interconnects

📌 Architectures and applications

  • Architectures and applications
  • Photonic implementations of spiking neural networks and analog optical computing
  • Optical neural network accelerators for AI inference and training
  • Photonic LIDAR and signal processing systems leveraging neuromorphic architectures
  • Cross-layer optimization and co-design between algorithms, hardware, and photonic circuits

We look forward to engaging discussions and strengthening international collaboration at the intersection of photonics and AI!
