Dr. Mario Chemnitz

Dr. Mario CHEMNITZ was a postdoctoral researcher at INRS-EMT in Montreal (Canada) from 2019 to 2022, where he studied nonlinear optical light-matter interactions for optical quantum-based and neuromorphic information processing. He completed his undergraduate studies with specialization in photonics at Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany) in 2011, his postgraduate studies at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2013, and his PhD in physics with honors at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in spring 2019. From 2019 to 2021, his interdisciplinary approach to science will be recognized with two dissertation awards and Canada's top postdoctoral Banting Fellowship. He is an emerging expert in nonlinear fiber optics, nonlinear optical materials (mainly liquids), and waveguide design with about 10 years of experience. His work and contributions have been published in about 30 peer-reviewed international journals (including Nature Commun., Advanced Science, and Optica), more than 30 conference proceedings, and 3 patents. His current research interests include complex photon sources, machine learning, and optical neuromorphic computing, which will be his research focus as part of his own research group starting in 2022.
