Any advice for students considering a career in science?

You should prepare yourself as best as possible. Science is as fascinating as it is challenging and hard work. Only people with a great capacity of work and resilience are capable of making a career in science. Prepare well and join the best institutions that can give you the right conditions to succeed.

Work, happiness, and success do not come alone. Science is teamwork and only the best teams win. INL has excellent conditions for doing science in Portugal, at the level of the best institutions in the world.

If you weren’t a Researcher, what would you be doing?

I’m especially touched by engineering challenges. I’m the happiest person putting my hands on the job and making it happen, I am more action than words. If I had to choose a different career, I think it would be in the field of architecture or landscape architecture. Not because I’m a good designer or a particularly creative person, but because I like to see things get out of my hands, to make them happen and see their impact on society and people’s lives.

Photonic Neuromorphic Computing session organized by ChipAI European project at AOP2022 International Conference

Photonic Neuromorphic Computing session organized by the European project ChipAI team at the 5th International Conference on Application of Optics and Photonics will take place July 18 to 22, 2022 at the Hotel de Guimarães Business & SPA, Guimarães, Portugal.

The ‘Photonic Neuromorphic Computing’ session covers key emergent areas such as materials for photonic computing, devices for photonic computing, photonic neural networks and deep learning methods, photonic accelerators, photonic reservoir computing, and brain-inspired photonic computing.

The session includes prestigious keynote/invited speakers and contributors working in the field, particularly within the frames of the EU H2020 and Horizon Europe projects such as PLASMONIAC, InsectNeuroNano, and ChipAI, to name a few. Young researchers and students will have the opportunity of exchanging knowledge and interact with academic and industry leaders by presenting their work. The speakers include:
