Under a larger research partnership, he works on many technological aspects on photonics on CMOS (Si rib and stripe waveguides, a-Si waveguides, and slot waveguides), Si modulators, Ge photodetectors, and InP integrated sources on Si. He is participating on different European projects, such as EPIXFAB for MPW circuit fabrication, and has coordinated the FP7 PLAT4M project on silicon photonics platform. Since 2014, he has been moved to sensing activities with photonics. He is currently a Technical Manager of the H2020 MIRPHAB pilot line on liquid and gas systems sensors. His H factor is around 35 with more than 200 publications and 50 patents. He has written three book chapters: one on magnetic recording and two on silicon photonics.
