UPM promotes advanced photonics by participating in the HINA PhD Network
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid joins the European project HINA (Hybrid INtegration of Alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films for advanced photonics and piezoelectric devices), an initiative that brings together experts from leading research groups and european industry to develop new materials and next-generation photonic devices.
From the Centre for Advanced Materials and Devices for Information and Communication Technologies (CEMDATIC UPM), Marta Clement's team will contribute with a thesis focused on the development of bulk acoustic wave devices (BAW resonators) based on alkali niobate-tantalate piezoelectric layers grown by MOCVD by other members of the consortium.
Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, HINA seeks not only technological advances, but also to train young researchers and strengthen collaboration between academia and industry, consolidating European leadership in advanced technologies.
Congratulations to Marta Clement Lorenzo and her team for this great contribution!
In addition, this project is part of the µe_UPM initiative (Microeletronica UPM), which brings together all UPM activity in microelectronics, semiconductors and photonics.
