Nanophotonics and Machine Learning

3 Hours

Explore recent trend of applying artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially machine learning, to specific tasks which has revolutionized many research subjects in different fields. Examine the fundamentals of the most important concepts from both sides, such as deep neural networks that has been used to design and decode nanophotonic devices, and metasurfaces and photonic circuits that can perform optical computing. Mechanical Engineering 386R (Topic 4) and 397 (Topic: Nanophotonics/Machine Learning) may not both be counted.
