DESCRIPTION:Prof. Edoardo Charbon\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, prof. Charbo
 n will review the evolution of solid-state photon counting sensors from av
 alanche photodiodes (APDs) to silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) to single-p
 hoton avalanche diodes (SPADs). The impact of these sensors on LiDAR has b
 een remarkable\, however\, more innovations are to come with the continuou
 s advance of integrated SPADs and the introduction of powerful computation
 al imaging techniques directly coupled to SPADs/SiPMs. New technologies\, 
 such as 3D-stacking in combination with Ge and InP/InGaAs SPAD sensors\, a
 re accelerating the adoption of SWIR/NIR image sensors\, while enabling ne
 w sensing functionalities. Prof. Charbon will conclude the talk with a tec
 hnological perspective on how all these technologies could come together i
 n low-cost\, computational-intensive image sensors\, for affordable\, yet 
 powerful quantum imaging.\n\n\n\nEdoardo Charbon (SM’00 F’17) received
  the Diploma from ETH Zurich\, the M.S. from the University of California 
 at San Diego\, and the Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley
  in 1988\, 1991\, and 1995\, respectively\, all in electrical engineering 
 and EECS. He has consulted with numerous organizations\, including Bosch\,
  X-Fab\, Texas Instruments\, Maxim\, Sony\, Agilent\, and the Carlyle Grou
 p. He was with Cadence Design Systems from 1995 to 2000\, where he was the
  Architect of the company's initiative on information hiding for intellect
 ual property protection. In 2000\, he joined Canesta Inc.\, as the Chief A
 rchitect\, where he led the development of wireless 3-D CMOS image sensors
 . Since 2002 he has been a member of the faculty of EPFL\, where is a full
  professor. From 2008 to 2016 he was with Delft University of Technology
 ’s as Chair of VLSI design. Dr. Charbon has been the driving force behin
 d the creation of deep-submicron CMOS SPAD technology\, which is mass-prod
 uced since 2015 and is present in telemeters\, proximity sensors\, and med
 ical diagnostics tools. His interests span from 3-D vision\, LiDAR\, FLIM\
 , FCS\, NIROT to super-resolution microscopy\, time-resolved Raman spectro
 scopy\, and cryo-CMOS circuits and systems for quantum computing. He has a
 uthored or co-authored over 400 papers and two books\, and he holds 24 pat
 ents. Dr. Charbon is the recipient of the 2023 IISS Pioneering Achievement
  Award\, he is a distinguished visiting scholar of the W. M. Keck Institut
 e for Space at Caltech\, a fellow of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience De
 lft\, a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society\, and a fello
 w of the IEEE.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n
