Faculty
Victor Torres-Company, PhD
Associate Professor, Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Photonics Laboratory
Victor Torres-Company is Associate Professor at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) and group leader of the Ultrafast Photonics group at Chalmers University of Technology. He obtained the PhD from the University of Valencia, Spain (2008), for which he won the Best Thesis award. Before joining Chalmers in 2012 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Photonics Systems group in McGill University, Canada, and later a Marie Curie Research Fellow at Purdue University, USA. Victor’s expertise is on laser frequency comb science and technology, nonlinear integrated optics and fiber-optic communications. He has co-authored more than 50 papers in leading optics journals. He has been awarded twice a Marie Curie Fellowship and is the recipient of a European Research Council Consolidator grant. For his PhD work, he won the Best Thesis award. Teaching wise, he is the responsible for the courses Integrated Optics at the Wireless Photonics and Space Engineering Master program, and the PhD course Advanced Measuring Techniques.

Postdoctoral Fellows
Dr. Francisco Arteaga
PhD from Center from research in Optics, Leon, MX
Francisco R. Arteaga-Sierra is Postdoc at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). He received his Bachelor degree in Engineer in Communications and Electronics (2006) and his Master degree in Instrumentation and Digital Systems (2008) from the University of Guanajuato, in Mexico. Further, he received his Dr.Sc. degree in Optics (2014) in the Center for Research in Optics, Mexico. His research included nonlinear effects and photonics for spectral applications. During his professional career, he has worked in the University of Valence and the Polytechnic University of Valence in Spain, developing supercontinuum generation sources for biomedical science applications. He also conducted theoretical and numerical investigations in the fields of dynamics of nonlinear pulse propagation in special optical fibers as a Postdoc in the University of Rochester, Rochester, USA. At Chalmers University of Technology, he is conducting investigations to develop new theory of coherent microresonator frequency combs for advanced optical communication systems.
