BSc. and MSc. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), respectively. He holds a PhD in microsystems and microelectronics from the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in Lausanne (EPFL), where as part of the H2020 MORPHIC project, he helped introduce microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to a Silicon Photonics foundry platform to enable programmable photonic integrated circuits. Yuji coordinated Enlightra’s involvement in the DARPA-funded GRYPHON project for the first-time integration of photonic wire bonds with bulk, crystalline microresonators to generate low-noise microwave signals using optical frequency combs. He also brings a wealth of experience in microfabrication processes, as well as in the design and layout of photonic integrated devices.
