Michael Galili

Michael Galili is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He is affiliated with the High-Speed Optical Communications Centre of Excellence for Silicon Photonics. His research focuses on high-speed optical communication systems, including nanotechnology-based components like optical filters and ultra-fast lasers for data signal processing. He explores novel solutions to handle data rates exceeding 320 Gbit/s using photonics, addressing challenges in signal processing and system design beyond traditional electronic limits.

Galili leads the Nano-COM project developing nanotechnology-driven optical communication components. His work integrates advanced photonics with fiber optics, emphasizing optical signal processing, nonlinear effects, and quantum communication systems. He has supervised multiple PhD students in areas such as quantum communication multiplexing, frequency conversion, and mode division multiplexing.

His recent publications span topics including all-optical switching via Fano resonance, parametric spectral shaping, and long-haul unrepeated transmission systems. He has received awards such as the Jorcks forskningspris (2021) and AEG Elektronprisen (2023). His lab, part of DTU’s Fotonik research group, collaborates internationally on projects like photonic lanterns and silicon carbide-based Kerr combs for ultra-high-speed data transmission.
