prof.dr.ir. D.A.I. Marpaung (David)

David Marpaung is a full professor and the chairholder of the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group. He is a fellow of Optica (formerly OSA).

David received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Twente, the Netherlands in 2009. From 2009 to 2012 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Twente, working on microwave photonic system integration for optical beamforming. He joined CUDOS University of Sydney, Australia in August 2012 as a research fellow. From 2015 to 2017 he was a senior research fellow leading the nonlinear integrated microwave photonics research activities in CUDOS University of Sydney.

David was the recipient of the 2015 Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) from the Australian Research Council and the 2017 Vidi award and the 2018 START UP grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). In 2022 he received the ERC Consolidator grant.

His research interests include RF photonics, photonic integration, nonlinear optics, and phononics. For more information visit his research group website.

My group performs research on advanced integrated photonic structures as platforms to enhance and control nonlinear and optomechanical interactions of light with matter. We pursue applications in next-generation microwave photonic signal processing systems and advanced light sources.

Research interests include:

- Integrated microwave photonics

- Brillouin scattering and optomechanics

- Nonlinear nanophotonics

- Silicon nitride photonics

Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.

Available projects for MSc and BSc assignments in my group are listed here. Feel free to contact me (d.a.i.marpaung@utwente.nl, office: Meander 127) if you are interested in these projects. Each project can be tailored either for MSc or BSc assignment.
