Sarah Uvin received a degree in photonics engineering from Ghent University, Belgium, in 2013 and a PhD from the same university in 2020, at the Department of Information Technology (INTEC). In 2020, she started working at Brolis Sensor Technology as a photonics engineer leading the daily cleanroom operation and the development of robust cleanroom processes to produce GaSb gain chips and photodetectors. In November 2023 she started as R&D project leader, coordinating the installation of the 200mm transfer-printing R&D line in the UGent cleanrooms.
