About this event

Abstract
The demand for extreme-scale computing, intensified by the push toward increasingly capable AI systems, is driving the need for major advances in compute density and interconnect bandwidth. Co-packaged optics (CPO) offers a compelling path forward by closely integrating electronic compute elements with high-density photonic interconnects. At Lightmatter our Passage platform is addressing this need through optical engines with an order of magnitude more escape bandwidth than currently possible







Speakers Bio
Alexander Sludds received his B.S, M.Eng and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2018, 2019 and 2023 respectively. Alex was an NSF graduate research fellow and has published in leading journals and conferences including Science, Nature Photonics, Science Advances and Physical Review X.

Alex currently works at Lightmatter, where his interests focus on the modeling and simulation tooling for large scale photonic systems.
