Dr. Hao Liu received both an MSc with Distinction and a PhD in Optoelectronics from the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton, completing his doctoral degree in 2024. He is currently a research fellow at the ORC, focusing on integrated photonics for next-generation optical communication and computing technologies. His research involves the design, fabrication, and characterisation of both linear and nonlinear photonic devices built on silicon and silicon nitride platforms. Dr. Liu’s work explores their applications in scalable all-optical on-chip signal processing, high-speed IM/DD optical transmission systems, and neuromorphic photonics. He is particularly interested in unconventional optical computing architectures enabled by these advanced photonic devices, aiming to push the boundaries of speed and efficiency in optical communication and computing.
