    Microphotonics, which replaces traditional bulk optical systems with their miniaturized chip-scale counterparts, has enabled broad applications ranging from communications to sensing and imaging. New materials are playing a pivotal role in microphotonics both to enable new optical functionalities and to enhance device and system performances. This talk will provide an overview on photonic material innovations at MIT that empowers the microphotonic revolution on the horizon.

    Integrated photonics encompasses all forms of microscopic optical elements which are fabricated on a single chip and connected by waveguides. After decades of development, integrated photonics is transforming many aspects of our lives - from the internet, AI and computing, to self-driving cars and augmented reality, to medical diagnostics and sensing. Today, MIT photonic innovations power dozens of companies and products - but  the Age of Integrated Photonics is just beginning.

    Concerns about data privacy, national localization, and security are driving dramatic change in the digital systems that support commerce and government.  These new systems are distributed, all-digital, natively encrypted, continuously auditable, and feature automatic legal enforcement.  Examples are the UBIN systems being fielded by Temasek and Singapore Monetary Authority, the Swiss Trust Chain fielded by SwissPost and SwissComm (which we helped design), and the Chinese national "smart city" system.  Along with these commercial systems are financial systems that such as Fidelity's Akoya (which helped design), Intuit and EY's internal tax reconciliation systems, and the national digital currencies being test deployed or seriously considered by most OPEC nations.   I will focus on

        what these next-gen systems are and how they change the game
        what security looks like in these new systems
        how all this changes AI and the value of data.

    For those in the public and nonprofit sectors, the coming months and years will see many challenges that will impact our retail-driven environments, including continued social distancing, budget shortfalls, and hybrid work from home options that will upend the connections that many once had to their central business districts. Place-based organizations, including City agencies, BIDs and Main Street organizations, simply don't have the option of walking away from the communities they serve. Even under challenging conditions, the public and nonprofit sectors must continue to find ways to help businesses and communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. As we consider the rapidly changing retail landscape, how should our public sector partners, whose policies and regulations have a significant impact on retail environments, respond? What role will they have in reinventing the retail experience in partnership with property and business owners?
