Thesis title: On-chip optical metasurfaces for nonlinear applications

Daniele Melati is a researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), France, and an Adjunct Professor at Carleton University, Canada. He obtained his PhD at Politecnico di Milano and he spent three years at the National Research Council Canada as Research Associate before joining C2N. His research focuses on the use of optimization and machine learning tools for the development of complex photonic devices, with recent applications to optical metalaterials and metasurfaces, photonic antennas, and optical phased arrays. He has co-authored more than 150 journal and conference publications and he received a European Research Council (ERC) starting grant in 2022 on the development of integrated devices for free-space optical communications.
