Patty Stabile

Ripalta (Patty) Stabile is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). She is expert in Indium Phosphide (InP) large-scale photonic integrated circuits based on semiconductor-optical-amplifiers design for high capacity nodes for next generation optical networks as well as the high-speed electronic control of on-chip integrated systems.

She is now considering her state-of-the-art photonic integrated matrices for application in optical computing and designing the architecture which sees the system co-integration of electronics and photonics: by exploiting the unique strength point of optics, which is parallelism, and by getting inspired by the way the brain works, she aims to overpass the operational speeds of processors at a much lower power consumption. She is already active in research and develop high data capacity high speed transceiver module, design and assembly, for fast and reliable communication between electronic boards.

Side activities are related to the development of low-cost passive coupling concepts for InP multi input/output ports circuits, as well as the exploration of new materials (aSi, 2D materials, polymer) for augmenting photonic integrated platforms performance.  

The tremendous parallelism offered by optics, with each beam in space representing individual computations, may illuminate the future of neural computing”
