David Castello Lurbe

David Castello Lurbe is a faculty member at the University of Valencia, affiliated with the Faculty of Physics and the Department of Applied Physics. He is part of the FOSE research group (Photonics and Semiconductors) and the Institute of Material Science (ICMUV), focusing on advanced photonic device design.

His research interests lie at the intersection of applied physics and photonics, particularly in silicon waveguides and inverse nonlinear design. His work contributes to the development of integrated optical systems with optimized nonlinear performance. These areas are critical for next-generation optical communication and signal processing technologies.

David earned his PhD from the University of Valencia in 2014 with a thesis titled Inverse nonlinear design in silicon waveguides, supervised by Dr. Víctor Torres-Company and Dr. Enrique Silvestre. While no publications or awards are listed in the provided text, his academic trajectory reflects a strong foundation in theoretical and applied photonics.

He is actively involved in research through the FOSE group and ICMUV, contributing to collaborative projects in semiconductor photonics. Though no current students or grants are mentioned, his role as an Ayudante Doctor indicates ongoing research and teaching responsibilities within the faculty.
