DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kirsten E. Moselund\nAbstract\nOur modern interconnected
  society is built upon two foundational technologies\; the compute power o
 f silicon CMOS and the capability of photonics for transmitting vast amoun
 ts of data in telecommunication networks. The seamless integration of sili
 con electronics and III-V photonics has been a long-standing goal to merge
  these two worlds on a single chip. As silicon photonics integrated circui
 t (PIC) technology matures\, there’s renewed interest in combining passi
 ve silicon waveguides with other materials in hybrid devices and systems\,
  to add functionality not achievable with silicon alone. In this talk I wi
 ll cover the work which was done in my former group at IBM research on dev
 eloping novel epitaxial techniques for the monolithic integration of III-V
 s on Si. Notably\, I will focus on waveguide coupled high-speed III-V phot
 odetectors and III-V photonic crystal lasers on silicon for on-chip optica
 l communication. I will also discuss our research in the context of new de
 velopments at the Paul Scherrer Institute\, PSI. In particular investigati
 ng active materials beyond III-V and exploring lasing in coupled nanolaser
  systems.\n\nBio\nKirsten E. Moselund received the M.Sc. Degree in Enginee
 ring from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 2003 and the Ph.D. 
 Degree in Microelectronics from EPFL\, in 2008. Subsequently\, she joined 
 IBM Research Europe - Zurich\, where she took on a number of different pos
 itions before returning to academia. Lastly\, she managed the Materials In
 tegration and Nanoscale Devices group.\nSince 2022 full professor of elect
 rical and microengineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at
  EPFL. She is head of the new Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Technologies 
 (LNQ) at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI)\, where among other things she is re
 sponsible for the cleanroom and the ETHZ-PSI quantum computing hub.\nThrou
 ghout her career\, she has worked on various topics related to semiconduct
 or devices and technology development\, such as low-power electronics\, cr
 yogenic electronics\, integrated photonics and topological devices. She is
  author/co-author of more than 100 papers and has filed >30 patents.\n\
