Behnoosh Babaghorbani

My Ph.D. journey started in May 2024, joining as a contributor to the European project “Reconfigurable Superconducting and Photonic Technologies of the Future (RESPITE).” The project’s overarching objective is to integrate vision and cognition on a single chip by leveraging newly developed superconducting Joule switches as neurons, multi-level phase change memory elements as synaptic weights, and superconducting single-photon detector arrays as retinas. Our aim is to demonstrate a novel platform (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101098717).

My academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), followed by a Master’s degree in the same field with a focus on micro and nanodevices at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). This educational trajectory ignited my passion for imaging and detection systems, which has since become the focal point of my career aspirations.

Presently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in the Imaging Physics group under the supervision of Dr. Iman Esmaeil zadeh. My research interests primarily revolve around optics and photonics, with a specific emphasis on advancing imaging and detection technologies.
