𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐚𝐨'𝐬 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐐𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 Today, we honour the birth of a visionary electrical engineer for his groundbreaking work in fibre optics. Sir Charles K. Kao, known as the "𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬", was born on this day, and his legacy continues to connect our world in ways previously unimaginable. His pioneering research in the mid 1960’s proposed that ultra-pure glass fibres could carry light signals over long distances paved the way for the digital communications age, transforming the world of telecommunications and enabling high-speed, global connectivity. As we celebrate his birthday, let's reflect on his profound insights and the wisdom he imparted through his words. From acknowledging the importance of innovation to emphasizing that engineers need curiosity and perseverance as well as recognizing that fibre technology will be the future of communications and beyond!

#TNOSpace together with 17 partners from the Dutch industry is contributing to Europe's sovereignty and security. Here's a call to action for • creating independence of non-EU infrastructure, • reinvigorating the EU supplier base, and • preparing to face the new cybersecurity and intelligence challenges.
The Dutch are more and more ambitious 🌌! 📣 Share with us: How do you help enable European sovereignty and security? A position paper by the Dutch satcom industry was released yesterday at the Satcom Summit, with Kees Buijsrogge, Peter van Uhm, Jeremy Godet, Tjerk Opmeer, Rob Postma, Guustaaf Stavenije, Harald Hauschildt, Bernie Buijs Bert Meijvogel Will Crowcombe Aymard de Touzalin Bob Dirks Lisa Burke Leveraging our strong heritage in #semiconductors, #radar, #ultraprecision #optics manufacturing, and #space instrumentation, along with recent investments in #quantum technology and optical #satellite communication, this paper present reliable and trustworthy Dutch solutions. TNO Vector Project leader Sabine Kerssens : "It’s encouraging to see an industry jointly take shape around key technologies identified by our government, it’s a significant step towards successful valorisation and scaleup growth in Europe." NXTGEN Hightech Program Manager Erik Fritz adds: "The innovation coming from our consortium partners drives the ambition for the future. This paper helps steer the laser satcom activities towards common goals, strengthening the effects of our collaboration.” We thank the partners in our ecosystem for coming together and strengthening the laser satellite communication proposition: AAC Clyde Space Airbus Netherlands B.V.

I am very grateful to Professor Dionysis Kalogerias and his team at Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science for inviting me to remotely present my work on percentile optimization to their group. It was an incredible opportunity to share my work, conducted in collaboration with Professor Ravi Adve, and to engage in stimulating discussions with such a fantastic audience. I look forward to our future collaborations! For those interested in the work, it focuses on a central problem long known in wireless networks— how can we optimize throughput for lower-percentile 'cell-edge' users? This initially seems to be a chicken-and-egg problem: in order optimize transmission, we need to know which devices fall into the lower percentiles. In order to do that, we first need to transmit to them! Our recent work, published as a two-part paper in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, tackles these issues and effectively solves these problems. It is available at https://lnkd.in/gg5_akmW and https://lnkd.in/gVxi7nfw.

APIC Corporation, based in Culver City, California, has been awarded a subcontract sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in Rome, New York, to prototype a high-speed, energy-efficient photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for computer systems called Heterogeneously Integrated Photonics and Electronics (HIP-E). The HIP-E prototyping effort is a partnership between APIC Corp., AFRL, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, (ORNL) the home of Frontier, currently the world's fastest supercomputer. The contract is the first step in designing a manufacturable PIC to greatly improve chip-to-chip communications in terms of bandwidth and energy efficiency. Ultimately, HIP-E technology will connect all processors and memory with a fiber optical mesh network, reducing energy consumed by data centers, supercomputers and artificial intelligent computing systems by 95%. The contract and partnership with AFRL and ORNL marks a transition from research and development, where $150 million was invested over 20 years, to now, the development of manufacturable prototype computing systems. Dr. Raj Dutt, CEO of APIC Corporation stated, “HIP-E is a transformative technology, decades in the making, similar to the tectonic shift from vacuum tube to solid state electronics. The impacts and benefits of HIP-E are far reaching and is truly a technology that is a legacy for mankind.”
