I am Go SOMA. I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Tokyo, Japan. I received my B.E. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2020 and 2022, respectively. My current research interest is in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and opto-electronic and nanophotonic devices for optical communications, computing, and sensing/imaging.
