- First demonstration of entirely new form of phase-change based integrated photonics arithmetic processor, capable of calculating with light and on picosecond time scales. Collaboration between Exeter, Muenster and Oxford universities, originally established via EPSRC Materials World Network grant led by Wright (EP/J018783/1). Proved instrumental in securing the 4Euro million H2020 project Fun-COMP, led by Wright, and developing new generations of intelligent computing devices with industrial partners Thales, IBM and IMEC. Received widespread publicity via physics.org, OSA-opn, chemeurope, science daily, techexplorist, innovations report and numerous other websites. Led to related 2018 patent (Wright co-inventor) on photonic arithmetic processing PCT/GB2018/051815.
