Advisory Board

To ensure that the best and most relevant proposals get funded, we have assembled a preeminent group of international technology and business advisors who peer review all grant proposals.

They also help us scout for talent, hot topics and identify future photonics technology trends.

All of the advisors were chosen due to their background and experience combined with significant domain expertise in photonics.

Remember, our clients pick the proposals they want to fund. Our advisory boards are there to help advise our clients on the technical merits and business potential of the ideas submitted.
