Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.

Photonics Society This seminar will discuss the driving motivations for
and technical approaches to photonic integration\, by Dr. Daniel Renner\,
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society. Dr. Daniel Renner A
genda: 6:00 pm Networking starts 6:15 pm Light meals served 7:00 pm Semi
nar starts Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activit
y for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to in
crease the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This tal
k will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do
we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities a
nd differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis o
f integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the
main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude
with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations f
or future Quantum PICs. Bio: Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern par
t of Chile\, in South America. He received his Bachelor of Engineering Deg
ree from the Universidad de Chile and then\, in his early twenties\, he we
nt to the University of Cambridge in England to do a Ph.D. in opto-electro
nics\, a new field of studies at the time. Now\, decades later\, he has li
ved through the whole range of experiences that relate to the research\, d
evelopment\, manufacturing and commercialization of complex photonic devic
es and systems\, used in communication\, sensor and industrial application
s. In the past 30 years\, Daniel has been directly involved with the growt
h of four photonic start-ups in the United States\, Ortel Corporation\, Ag
ility Communications\, Aerius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives
him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business. Da
niel is currently the Chair of the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Engagem
ent Committee\, from where he is trying to help other photonic small busin

24 Speaker: Dan Boschen This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded
lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful o
pen-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course f
ormat includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on thei
r own schedule\, and an unlimited number of times\, prior to live Q&A work
shop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be availab
le to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion o
f the course. Overview: Dan provides simple\, straight-forward navigation
through the multiple configurations and options\, providing a best-practic
es approach for quickly getting up to speed using Python for modelling and
analysis for applications in signal processing and digital design verific
ation. Students will be using the Anaconda distribution\, which combines P
ython with the most popular data science applications\, and Jupyter Notebo
oks for a rich\, interactive experience. The course begins with basic Pyth
on data structures and constructs\, including key “Pythonic” concepts\, fo
llowed by an overview and use of popular packages for scientific computing
enabling rapid prototyping for system design. During the course students
will create example designs including a sigma delta converter and direct d
igital synthesizer both in floating point and fixed point. This will inclu
de considerations for cycle and bit accurate models useful for digital des
ign verification (FPGA/ASIC)\, while bringing forward the signal processin
g tools for frequency and time domain analysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This c
ourse makes extensive use of Jupyter Notebooks which combines running Pyth
on code with interactive plots and graphics for a rich user experience. Ju
pyter Notebooks is an open-source web-based application (that can be run l
ocally) that allows users to create and share visually appealing documents
containing code\, graphics\, visualizations and interactive plots. Studen
ts will be able to interact with the notebook contents and use “take-it-wi
th-you” results for future applications in signal processing. Target Audi
ence: This course is targeted toward users with little to no prior experie
nce in Python\, however familiarity with other modern programming language
s and an exposure to object-oriented constructs is very helpful. Students
should be comfortable with basic signal processing concepts in the frequen
cy and time domain. Familiarity with Matlab or Octave is not required\, bu
t the equivalent operations in Python using the NumPy package will be prov
ided for those students that do currently use Matlab and/or Octave for sig
nal processing applications. Benefits of Attending / Goals of Course: Att
endees will gain an overall appreciation of using Python and quickly get u
p to speed in best practice use of Python. All set-up information for the
installation of all tools will be provided before the start of class. Top

Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.
Tonight’s panelists\, each having a key role in the academic research to
commercialization continuum\, will enlighten us with their experienced ins

asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv

does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ

Photonics Society This seminar will discuss the driving motivations for
and technical approaches to photonic integration\, by Dr. Daniel Renner\,
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society. Dr. Daniel Renner A
genda: 6:00 pm Networking starts 6:15 pm Light meals served 7:00 pm Semi
nar starts Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activit
y for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to in
crease the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This tal
k will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do
we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities a
nd differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis o
f integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the
main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude
with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations f
or future Quantum PICs. Bio: Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern par
t of Chile\, in South America. He received his Bachelor of Engineering Deg
ree from the Universidad de Chile and then\, in his early twenties\, he we
nt to the University of Cambridge in England to do a Ph.D. in opto-electro
nics\, a new field of studies at the time. Now\, decades later\, he has li
ved through the whole range of experiences that relate to the research\, d
evelopment\, manufacturing and commercialization of complex photonic devic
es and systems\, used in communication\, sensor and industrial application
s. In the past 30 years\, Daniel has been directly involved with the growt
h of four photonic start-ups in the United States\, Ortel Corporation\, Ag
ility Communications\, Aerius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives
him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business. Da
niel is currently the Chair of the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Engagem
ent Committee\, from where he is trying to help other photonic small busin

24 Speaker: Dan Boschen This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded
lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful o
pen-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course f
ormat includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on thei
r own schedule\, and an unlimited number of times\, prior to live Q&A work
shop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be availab
le to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion o
f the course. Overview: Dan provides simple\, straight-forward navigation
through the multiple configurations and options\, providing a best-practic
es approach for quickly getting up to speed using Python for modelling and
analysis for applications in signal processing and digital design verific
ation. Students will be using the Anaconda distribution\, which combines P
ython with the most popular data science applications\, and Jupyter Notebo
oks for a rich\, interactive experience. The course begins with basic Pyth
on data structures and constructs\, including key “Pythonic” concepts\, fo
llowed by an overview and use of popular packages for scientific computing
enabling rapid prototyping for system design. During the course students
will create example designs including a sigma delta converter and direct d
igital synthesizer both in floating point and fixed point. This will inclu
de considerations for cycle and bit accurate models useful for digital des
ign verification (FPGA/ASIC)\, while bringing forward the signal processin
g tools for frequency and time domain analysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This c
ourse makes extensive use of Jupyter Notebooks which combines running Pyth
on code with interactive plots and graphics for a rich user experience. Ju
pyter Notebooks is an open-source web-based application (that can be run l
ocally) that allows users to create and share visually appealing documents
containing code\, graphics\, visualizations and interactive plots. Studen
ts will be able to interact with the notebook contents and use “take-it-wi
th-you” results for future applications in signal processing. Target Audi
ence: This course is targeted toward users with little to no prior experie
nce in Python\, however familiarity with other modern programming language
s and an exposure to object-oriented constructs is very helpful. Students
should be comfortable with basic signal processing concepts in the frequen
cy and time domain. Familiarity with Matlab or Octave is not required\, bu
t the equivalent operations in Python using the NumPy package will be prov
ided for those students that do currently use Matlab and/or Octave for sig
nal processing applications. Benefits of Attending / Goals of Course: Att
endees will gain an overall appreciation of using Python and quickly get u
p to speed in best practice use of Python. All set-up information for the
installation of all tools will be provided before the start of class. Top

Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.

Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.

Photonics Society This seminar will discuss the driving motivations for
and technical approaches to photonic integration\, by Dr. Daniel Renner\,
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society. Dr. Daniel Renner A
genda: 6:00 pm Networking starts 6:15 pm Light meals served 7:00 pm Semi
nar starts Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activit
y for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to in
crease the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This tal
k will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do
we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities a
nd differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis o
f integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the
main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude
with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations f
or future Quantum PICs. Bio: Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern par
t of Chile\, in South America. He received his Bachelor of Engineering Deg
ree from the Universidad de Chile and then\, in his early twenties\, he we
nt to the University of Cambridge in England to do a Ph.D. in opto-electro
nics\, a new field of studies at the time. Now\, decades later\, he has li
ved through the whole range of experiences that relate to the research\, d
evelopment\, manufacturing and commercialization of complex photonic devic
es and systems\, used in communication\, sensor and industrial application
s. In the past 30 years\, Daniel has been directly involved with the growt
h of four photonic start-ups in the United States\, Ortel Corporation\, Ag
ility Communications\, Aerius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives
him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business. Da
niel is currently the Chair of the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Engagem
ent Committee\, from where he is trying to help other photonic small busin

24 Speaker: Dan Boschen This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded
lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful o
pen-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course f
ormat includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on thei
r own schedule\, and an unlimited number of times\, prior to live Q&A work
shop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be availab
le to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion o
f the course. Overview: Dan provides simple\, straight-forward navigation
through the multiple configurations and options\, providing a best-practic
es approach for quickly getting up to speed using Python for modelling and
analysis for applications in signal processing and digital design verific
ation. Students will be using the Anaconda distribution\, which combines P
ython with the most popular data science applications\, and Jupyter Notebo
oks for a rich\, interactive experience. The course begins with basic Pyth
on data structures and constructs\, including key “Pythonic” concepts\, fo
llowed by an overview and use of popular packages for scientific computing
enabling rapid prototyping for system design. During the course students
will create example designs including a sigma delta converter and direct d
igital synthesizer both in floating point and fixed point. This will inclu
de considerations for cycle and bit accurate models useful for digital des
ign verification (FPGA/ASIC)\, while bringing forward the signal processin
g tools for frequency and time domain analysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This c
ourse makes extensive use of Jupyter Notebooks which combines running Pyth
on code with interactive plots and graphics for a rich user experience. Ju
pyter Notebooks is an open-source web-based application (that can be run l
ocally) that allows users to create and share visually appealing documents
containing code\, graphics\, visualizations and interactive plots. Studen
ts will be able to interact with the notebook contents and use “take-it-wi
th-you” results for future applications in signal processing. Target Audi
ence: This course is targeted toward users with little to no prior experie
nce in Python\, however familiarity with other modern programming language
s and an exposure to object-oriented constructs is very helpful. Students
should be comfortable with basic signal processing concepts in the frequen
cy and time domain. Familiarity with Matlab or Octave is not required\, bu
t the equivalent operations in Python using the NumPy package will be prov
ided for those students that do currently use Matlab and/or Octave for sig
nal processing applications. Benefits of Attending / Goals of Course: Att
endees will gain an overall appreciation of using Python and quickly get u
p to speed in best practice use of Python. All set-up information for the
installation of all tools will be provided before the start of class. Top

Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.
Tonight’s panelists\, each having a key role in the academic research to

n location forth-coming Virtual via Zoom Cost: Free to ENET members\; $15.
Non-members Academic research is a critical source of new knowledge\, a b
asic research engine that translates investigator curiosity\, energy and r
esourcefulness into tools\, insights and inventions that have the potentia
l to change the world. Sadly\, only 5-10 percent of patented academic inv
entions go on to become commercial products\, and only a very small percen
tage of academic research even gets to the stage of filing a patent. What
does it take to effectively translate academic research to commercial succ
ess? Often\, the path to commercialization begins with a start-up. The cha
llenges in launching a start- up based on research emerging from academia
are manifold. To say “it takes a village” would be a gross understatement.
Tonight’s panelists\, each having a key role in the academic research to
commercialization continuum\, will enlighten us with their experienced ins

se: Thursday\, February 22\, 2024 Speaker: Dan Boschen This is a hands-o
n course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessio
ns in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pr
e-Recorded Videos: The course format includes pre-recorded video lectures
that students can watch on their own schedule\, and an unlimited number o
f times\, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor.
The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to t
wo months after the conclusion of the course. Overview: Dan provides simpl
e\, straight-forward navigation through the multiple configurations and op
tions\, providing a best-practices approach for quickly getting up to spee
d using Python for modelling and analysis for applications in signal proce
ssing and digital design verification. Students will be using the Anaconda
distribution\, which combines Python with the most popular data science a
pplications\, and Jupyter Notebooks for a rich\, interactive experience. T
he course begins with basic Python data structures and constructs\, includ
ing key “Pythonic” concepts\, followed by an overview and use of popular p
ackages for scientific computing enabling rapid prototyping for system des
ign. During the course students will create example designs including a si
gma delta converter and direct digital synthesizer both in floating point
and fixed point. This will include considerations for cycle and bit accura
te models useful for digital design verification (FPGA/ASIC)\, while bring
ing forward the signal processing tools for frequency and time domain anal
ysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This course makes extensive use of Jupyter Noteb
ooks which combines running Python code with interactive plots and graphic
s for a rich user experience. Jupyter Notebooks is an open-source web-base
d application (that can be run locally) that allows users to create and sh
are visually appealing documents containing code\, graphics\, visualizatio
ns and interactive plots. Students will be able to interact with the noteb
ook contents and use “take-it-with-you” results for future applications in
signal processing. Target Audience: This course is targeted toward users
with little to no prior experience in Python\, however familiarity with o
ther modern programming languages and an exposure to object-oriented const
ructs is very helpful. Students should be comfortable with basic signal pr
ocessing concepts in the frequency and time domain. Familiarity with Matla
b or Octave is not required\, but the equivalent operations in Python usin
g the NumPy package will be provided for those students that do currently
use Matlab and/or Octave for signal processing applications. Benefits of
Attending / Goals of Course: Attendees will gain an overall appreciation o
f using Python and quickly get up to speed in best practice use of Python.
All set-up information for the installation of all tools will be provided
before the start of class. Topics / Schedule: Pre-recorded lectures (3 h
ours each) will be distributed Friday prior to all Workshop dates. Worksho

incoln Laboratory - Cafeteria Tickets Apr 11 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Photonics Society This seminar will discuss the driving motivations for
and technical approaches to photonic integration\, by Dr. Daniel Renner\,
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society. Dr. Daniel Renner A
genda: 6:00 pm Networking starts 6:15 pm Light meals served 7:00 pm Semi
nar starts Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activit
y for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to in
crease the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This tal
k will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do
we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities a
nd differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis o
f integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the
main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude
with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations f
or future Quantum PICs. Bio: Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern par
t of Chile\, in South America. He received his Bachelor of Engineering Deg
ree from the Universidad de Chile and then\, in his early twenties\, he we
nt to the University of Cambridge in England to do a Ph.D. in opto-electro
nics\, a new field of studies at the time. Now\, decades later\, he has li
ved through the whole range of experiences that relate to the research\, d
evelopment\, manufacturing and commercialization of complex photonic devic
es and systems\, used in communication\, sensor and industrial application
s. In the past 30 years\, Daniel has been directly involved with the growt
h of four photonic start-ups in the United States\, Ortel Corporation\, Ag
ility Communications\, Aerius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives
him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business. Da
niel is currently the Chair of the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Engagem
ent Committee\, from where he is trying to help other photonic small busin
