Just on my way back from the International School of Physical Computing in the beautiful city Erice (IT). A fantastic event organized by Birgit Stiller, Antonio Cala Lesina and Wolfram Pernice. We definitely forged some future there. Looking forward for the upcoming events. 🙏

An absolutely correct move.

But how to stop the ego-parade in Silicon Valley?!

The ancient German satire Magazine Simplicissimus with 1907th hot topic „The Russian Dragon“ („Der russische Drache“). Very up-to-Date again.

I love Yann LeCun’s vibes. 😅

Yay!! Today, we celebrated the first original paper from our Smart Photonics Group @leibnizipht.bsky.social. What a great success!

Special guests: Bruno Pessoa Chaves, Manal Arbati from XLIM Limoges, and Andrei Ermolaev from Femto-ST Besançon, France.

It was a very exciting exchange.

Meet us at #CLEO #Munich 2025. We have a series of exciting research insights prepared for you.

From dispersion-programmable fibers to fundamentally new concepts of brain-inspired optical information processing. We look forward to seeing you there.

Let’s bring out the #intelligence of #light. 🚀

Here we go! This year’s “exam” for my ~20 students visiting my #Optical #MachineLearning lecture at the Friedrich-Schiller-University #Jena.

The game is on. 🚀

It’s official. I’m Europe fanboy now. 🇪🇺

Two of my signature papers of 2023 are among the top-10% of the most viewed papers of Wiley journals LPR and Advanced Science.

Aren’t those the small things that keep us going?! 🙏☺️

This week we had a really exciting panel discussion with the CEOs of GRINTECH, microfluidic ChipShop, Active Fiber Systems, and BLINK AG held at the annual PhD Seminar of the @leibnizipht.bsky.social at Dornburg Castles.

A great way for our PhDs to lose fears for launching their own businesses.

Fact is that this is the annual global #glacier mass loss in 2023 was -540 gigatons (Gt). See gain (blue) and loss (red) below. Data source: C3S/ECMWF/WGMS

This is -540 billion tons❗️

This is 360 times the annual water need of NYC, and nearly 3 times the need of entire Germany 🇩🇪 ‼️

Just back from a highly intensive 3-day Smart Strategy Seminar with my group. Great energy, great experience, and we got some quite exciting stuff ahead of us. 🚀 Stay tuned.

Thanks @carlzeissstiftung.bsky.social for funding our project and enabling this exchange.

Good by Photonics West 2025. It has been a great show.

By the way, a closer look shows the lineup to my three invited talks (not in chronological order 😬).

Hope to see you there.

On my way to @spie.org Photonics West 2025. 🤘

To explain my small ones what I am doing there for a week, I‘ve build an SPIE conference hall. Check this out…

Sorry science fellas, today demands a political post because…

A new roadmap hit the road. The line-up of experts is unreal. Thanks to @daniel-brunner.bsky.social and colleagues for organizing this so well.

A glimpse of the future.

Lothar König (1954-2024) war ein evan. Pfarrer und bedeutende Persönlichkeit im Kampf gegen Rechtsextremismus in 🇩🇪. Als langjähriger Stadtjugendpfarrer in Jena prägte er die Stadt und ihre Jugendarbeit maßgeblich.

Nur wenige Menschen werden der Welt und dem was wichtig ist, so gewahr wie er.

Wichtiger Nachtrag: In Jena wurde zu Weihnachten wieder dieses fantastische Grippenspiel aufgebaut.

In diesem Jahr wurde der Pfarrer, Jugendarbeiter und Aktivist Lothar König aus Jena als einer der drei Könige hinzugefügt.

Die Ikone Lothar König ist leider 2024 verstorben.

My group somehow figured out that cups are my Achilles heel when it comes to Super Mario merch. Such smarties. 😎

Smart Christmas gathering in our Smart Photonics group at the Market in Jena. I’m really grateful to be able to work with such motivated and bright PhDs.

Merry Christmas #Bluesky crowd 🎄 🎁
