Idelfonso Tafur Monroy, Full Professor in the Electro-Optical Communication group and the Institute for Integrated Photonics, TU Eindhoven University of Technology; will speak on “Quantum Technologies in 5G-6G Architecture” at IQT The Hague March 13-15.
Tafur is Full Professor in the Electro-Optical Communication group and the Institute for Integrated Photonics. His research focuses on photonic terahertz systems. His long-term vision is to advance photonic techniques and technologies for the generation, detection and processing of electro-magnetic waves in the sub-THz to THz spectrum domain. At the technological level, the development of complex THz functionalities in compact modules with satisfactory performance metrics for applications (e.g. communications, agri-food, security, bio-medical) supported by photonic integration circuits. At the theoretical level, to develop pertinent models for THz systems and sub-systems and co-design approaches with electronics.
He is team leader in project 5G PPP blueSPACE, a European research project led by TU/e that will develop wireless technology for 5G wireless systems. It aims to increase the speed of the current 4G network by a factor of 100. He is also leader of the H2020 ITN CELTA project (Convergence of Electronics and Photonics Technologies for Enabling Terahertz Applications).
Tafur is also involved in the Danish startup Bifrost Communications, which has the potential to save the global telecommunications industries millions of Euros. He is co-author of over 500 journal and conference papers and has graduated 20 PhD students.
