Our colleague Mladen Banović recently attended the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC 2025) in San Francisco—one of the world’s leading events in the fields of optical networks, communications, and optical computing.
With over 10,000 participants from academia, industry, and startups, OFC provided a unique platform to engage with global experts and explore the latest trends. A key focus of this year’s conference was the integration of artificial intelligence into photonic systems, confirming the relevance and timeliness of our research direction.
Mladen took part in technical sessions, workshops, and poster presentations, while also using the opportunity to establish new research connections and explore potential collaborations. The large-scale industry exhibition, featuring more than 600 companies, offered valuable insights into current and emerging technologies.
This visit not only expanded our team’s professional network but also strengthened our understanding of the evolving landscape at the intersection of photonics and AI.
