| Dr. Mario Paniccia is a Senior Principal engineer and Director of the Photonic Technology Lab at Intel Corporation. He currently directs a research group with activities in the area of Silicon Photonics. The team is focused on developing silicon-based photonic building blocks for future use in enterprise and data center communications.
Dr. Paniccia has worked in many areas of optical technologies during his career at Intel including optical testing for leading edge microprocessors, optical communications and optical interconnects. His team’s pioneering activities in silicon photonics have led to the first silicon modulator with bandwidth greater than 1GHz (2004) and the first continuous-wave Silicon laser breakthrough (2005). Dr. Paniccia has won several awards including the Scientific American Top 50 (November 2004) for his team’s work in the area of silicon photonics. He has published numerous papers — including three in Nature — and two book chapters, and has over 65 patents issued or pending. Dr. Paniccia is a senior member of IEEE and a fellow of OSA. He earned a B.S. degree in Physics in 1988 from the State University of New York at Binghamton and a Ph.D. degree in Solid State Physics from Purdue University in 1994. |
