🙌 We are celebrating one year of #GATEPOST🎉 📍 General Assembly at WinPhoS Research Group in Thessaloniki, Greece ♦ The GATEPOST project team met with a total of eight partners from Germany, Belgium, Greece and Switzerland for a very special meeting. This time the general assembly took place in Thessaloniki at WinPhoS Research Group, the Wireless and Photonic Systems and Networks Research Group of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). ♣ The half-yearly meeting was used to bring the work of the GATEPOST project team, which otherwise takes place at a distance, back to a personal level and to discuss the progress of the project in all work packages. ♥ Work is currently in full swing in each of the six work packages, meaning that the project has made good progress in the design of graphene-based photonic components, all-optical CAM memories and neuromorphic photonic computing architectures during the last few months. "This brings us a big step closer to our project goal of an all-optical technology platform based on #graphene," said Chris Vagionas, who hosted the meeting on behalf of the WinPhos team. ♠ The agenda included a discussion of each of the six GATEPOST work packages. For example, Mindaugas Lukošius from the IHP in Frankfurt (Oder), the lead partner of the project, reported on his team's efforts to develop graphene processing steps in the pilot line. He also informed the project consortium about the process of manufacturing graphene-based proof-of-concept devices at IHP. ♠ Theodoros Moschos from the WinPhoS research group presented the development of a 20 GHz Silicon Integrated Optical Ternary Content Addressable Memory (CAM) Cell targeting fast packet inspections and content comparison data operations, also recently published at OFC 2024 in San Diego, USA. ♠ Matěj Hejda of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, based in Brussels, gave project partners an insight into the development of a simulator ecosystem that enables fast and accurate investigation and optimisation of photonic acceleration architectures. This will be used to detect DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) cyber-attacks using machine learning (ML) techniques, which is one of the objectives of the GATEPOST project. ▶ This year's #GrapheneWeek in Prague, one of the largest European events focusing on graphene and other #2Dmaterials, was also discussed at the meeting. ▶ GATEPOST will co-host a #workshop on '2D Materials for Photonic Applications' together with the 2DNeuralVision project, which is also part of the Graphene Flagship. 👨🔬 In addition to the project content, the general meeting also included a tour of the premises. The WinPhos team showed the guests their workplaces and laboratories. WinPhos is located in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research and Innovation, which serves as an interdisciplinary research environment for the Departments of Physics, Informatics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at AUTH.
