Speaker:
Professor S. J. Ben Yoo
Affiliation:
University of California - Davis
Synopsis:
We will discuss grand challenges for the future cyberinfrastructure, the role of photonics in nanoscale and exascale systems, and intelligent heterogeneous multi-domain networking. In particular, we will discuss 2D and 3D heterogeneous integration and their impacts on future cyberinfrastructures. The talk will be in three parts addressing applications in future networking, computing, and imaging systems with signal processing capabilities in temporal, spectral, and spatial domains. Heterogeneous integration technologies involving silicon, silica, III-V, II-VI, lithium-niobate, and many other related material systems helped realize microsystems with new photonic, electronic, and magnetic functionalities combined together in compact packages. In addition to electronic 3D-ICs currently in rapid development, the newly emerging 3D photonic integrated circuit (PIC) includes arbitrarily shaped waveguides inscribed by femtosecond lasers. Heterogeneous integration utilizing wafer bonding, hetero-epitaxy, and self-assembly offers methods for integrating dissimilar materials. We will address future prospects of the new 2D/3D heterogeneous integrated circuits towards realizing future communication, computing, and imaging systems, and will discuss their impacts on future cyberinfrastructures.
Biography:
S. J. Ben Yoo is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at University of California at Davis (UC Davis). His research at UC Davis includes 2D/3D photonic integration for future computing, communication, imaging, and navigation systems, micro/nano systems integration, and the future Internet. Prior to joining UC Davis in 1999, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Bellcore, leading technical efforts in integrated photonics, optical networking, and systems integration. His research activities at Bellcore included the next-generation Internet, reconfigurable multiwavelength optical networks (MONET), wavelength interchanging cross connects, wavelength converters, vertical-cavity lasers, and high-speed modulators. He led the MONET testbed experimentation efforts, and participated in ATD/MONET systems integration and a number of standardization activities. Prior to joining Bellcore in 1991, he conducted research on nonlinear optical processes in quantum wells, a four-wave-mixing study of relaxation mechanisms in dye molecules, and ultrafast diffusion-driven photodetectors at Stanford University (BS’84, MS’86, PhD’91, Stanford University). Prof. Yoo is Fellow of IEEE, OSA, and a recipient of the DARPA Award for Sustained Excellence (1997), the Bellcore CEO Award (1998), the Mid-Career Research Faculty Award (2004 UC Davis), and the Senior Research Faculty Award (2011 UC Davis).
