Caltech Nanofabrication Group

Dr. Witzens received his M.Sc. (“Diplôme d’Ingénieur”) from the Ecole Polytechnique (France) in 2000.  Working in the Caltech Nanofab Group, Jeremy earned his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 2005. From 2006 to 2009 he was a senior staff engineer at Luxtera Inc., a Californian start-up specializing in the development of integrated transceivers with Silicon Photonics technology. He held an appointment as a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Washington from Nov. 2009 to Sep. 2010. Since early 2011 he is heading the Integrated Photonics Laboratory at the RWTH Aachen.
