“Subwavelength engineering for silicon photonic devices”

Jens Schmid is a Senior Research Officer with the Information and Communications Technologies portfolio of the National Research Council Canada and also an adjunct professor with the Department of Electronics at Carleton University. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of British Columbia in 2004 for his work on in-situ etching and molecular beam epitaxial regrowth on III-V semiconductors. After working for a year as a research scientist for VSM MedTech, a medical device company in Coquitlam, B.C., where he developed fabrication processes for superconducting quantum interference devices, he joined the nanofabrication group at NRC in 2005. His current research interests are the fabrication, design, characterization and simulation of silicon photonic devices and nanostructures.
