Neuromorphic Photonics-Complex Lasers 2023

EPFL

EPFL and Swissphotonics are organizing a two-day workshop on Neuromorphic Photonics to take place at EPFL in Lausanne Switzerland on 27-28.4.2023. Usually these workshops attract an audience of about 40-60 people with a strong industry participation and are a good occasion for stimulating discussions. Whereas the first day deals with Complex Lasers, the second day is devoted to Optical Computing

Cost
The participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory, separately for the two days!
