Photonics for AI and AI for Photonics

Welcome to the PhotonicsAI Lab at the Department of Physics of Yerevan State University.

Our group develops both theoretical, experimental approaches as well as state-of-the-art computing algorithms to address basic and applied research problems. Our fundamental research interests focus on the light-matter interaction in complex photonic systems. In particular, our prime interest is to reveal the full spatiotemporal interaction potential of speckle light field and liquid crystal. The latter can find its direct implementation towards the realization of scalable and power efficient optical computing architectures that are capable of tackling many large-scale complex problems. Namely, one of the applied research directions in our lab is combining such state-of-the-art optical computing technologies with optical imaging systems to achieve unprecedented imaging performance through complex turbid media. Please check our Research section for more details.

Our primary goal is reaching and maintaining excellence in fundamental and applied science, building strong international collaborations, and providing large involvement of students in our research projects.
