Giovedì 20 settembre, alle ore 16, il prof. JONATHAN KLAMKIN sarà ospite del Contamination Lab dell’Ateneo (Ex Ospedale Militare, Via Fabio Severo, 40), intervenendo sul tema “Entrepreneurship environment and start up creation in California”.
Il prof. KLAMKIN è docente di Electrical and Computer Engineering presso l’Università della California, Santa Barbara ed è un esperto di fotonica e nuovi materiali.
Nell’ambito della creazione di nuova impresa innovativa, è di rilevante importanza la conoscenza del contesto imprenditoriale e delle “regole di ingaggio” dei venture capitalist di ogni parte del mondo nonché delle tendenze delle nuove tecnologie. In questo senso la sua esperienza professionale sarà fondamentale per dialogare sui temi dell’innovazione e della creazione di impresa in uno dei contesti geografici più fecondi da questo punto di vista: la California.
Jonathan Klamkin is a professor at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he leads a group of ~18 researchers conducting pioneering research in integrated photonic technologies.
