Dr Javier Porte Parera

Strathclyde Chancellor's Fellow

Institute of Photonics

Personal statement

I received my PhD degree in Physics from the University of the Balearic Islands (Spain) in 2015. There I studied the nonlinear dynamics of delay-coupled semiconductor lasers with application to secure communications. From 2016 to 2018 I was postdoctoral researcher with the Technical University of Berlin (Germany) working on external optical coupling of quantum-dot microlasers for nanophotonic applications. From 2019 to 2022 I was Marie-Curie fellow at the FEMTO-ST Institute in Besançon (France) working on photonic spatio-temporal neural networks and additive manufacturing of CMOS compatible integrated photonic components. In 2022 I was awarded a Chancellor's Fellowship by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (Scotland, UK). As a result of this award I started working from November 2022 as a Lecturer at Strathclyde’s Institute of Photonics. My current research interests cover complex laser dynamics, hybrid optoelectronic integration and photonic information processing.
