Light energy is one of the most pervasive forms of energy in our universe, and photonics is the science and technology of light and the study of how it behaves and can be utilized. At the next meetup of MADIA Tech Launch on Wednesday, there will be a presentation on “Photonics – How Light is Powering Modern and Future Technology” presented by Dr. Bahram Jalali.
Jalali is a globally recognized innovator enjoying his space at the intersection of science and real-world products. His work has led to companies acquired by Intel and BD Biosciences, and his breakthroughs have been featured in Scientific American and MIT Technology Review. He holds more than 70 U.S. patents and somehow still finds time to be an avid sailor.
The meeting will take place at SiLC Technologies, a global leader and innovator in silicon photonics delivering coherent vision and chip scale LiDAR solutions that help machines see like humans.
SiLC is located at 181 W. Huntington Drive in Monrovia. The meeting will go from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tickets are available through Eventbrite for $12 if ordered by Tuesday, or $20 at the door; they include pizza and a beverage; the meeting will have a Zoom option available with free registration. Student pricing is also an option.
MADIA Tech Launch is an educational nonprofit organization supporting the community of technology entrepreneurs in the region between Arcadia and Glendora. For more information visit: www.MADIAtech.org.
