Ir. Tom Vandekerckhove (Doctoral Researcher)

This person is working in this group since 2020.

Affiliation:	Ghent University - IMEC Department of Information Technology
Address:	Technologiepark-Zwijnaarde 126 9052 Ghent Belgium
Office:	iGent, Office 130.006
E-mail:	tom.vandekerckhove@ugent.be
ORCID:	0000-0002-5639-9300
LinkedIn:	tom-vandekerckhove/
Research Area:	Integrated optics, nonlinear optics, quantum optics
Promotors:	Bart Kuyken and Stephane Clemmen

Tom received his BSc and MSc in Engineering physics from Ghent University (Belgium) in 2017 and 2019 respectively. He then spent one year at Cornell University as a master student working on WSe2 monolayer-based single photon emission under the supervision of professor Gregory D. Fuchs. Tom started his PhD in 2020 at the photonics research group and OPERA-photonique. He works under the supervision of Bart Kuyken and Stephane Clemmen on the development of integrated nonlinear waveguides with a second order nonlinearity through micro-transfer printing for quantum photonics applications.
