David Marpaung

David Marpaung is a full professor leading the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Twente 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 is a fellow of Optica (formerly OSA). He was the recipient of the 2015 Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) from the Australian Research Council, the 2017 Vidi award and the 2019 START UP grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). In 2022 he was awarded the ERC Consolidator grant on the topic of 3D photonic circuits for Brillouin scattering. His research interests include integrated photonics, nonlinear optics, and microwave photonics.
