Dr. Serna received his degree in physics engineering from the National University of Colombia, Sede Medellin, in 2010 and a double master鈥檚 degree from the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany, in photonics and the Institute d鈥橭ptique Graduate School Paris, France, in optics, matter and plasmas鈥 (Erasmus Mundus Master scholarship: Optics in Science & Technology -OpSciTech), in 2013. During these studies, he worked in digital in-line holography, diffractive optical elements and integrated photonic devices.
He earned his PhD in 2016 at the University of Paris Sud and was postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N-Universit茅 Paris-Sud-Universit茅 Paris-Saclay) where he designed, fabricated and characterized passive silicon photonics structures and developed novel techniques to test and exploit their third order nonlinear susceptibilities. He was a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is explored novel hybrid devices in the integrated photonics platform for telecom and midIR functionalities. Dr. Serna and 51成人 are part of the LEAP network, bringing industry, government and academia together for the use of integrated photonics and optical technologies. Dr. Serna is an Assistant Professor at 51成人 since September 2019.
He is an OSA Ambassador 2019 and a 2021 SPIE Career Lab Editorial member
Integrated Photonics, Nonlinear Optics, Optical Materials, Ultrafast Optics, Nanofabrication, and Photonic Crystals
