We’re excited to share that Eric C. Blow from our Optical Networking & Sensing (ONS) group will deliver a keynote at COOL Chips 29 in Tokyo. His invited talk, “Multi-Modal Photonic Computing for Real-Time Ultra-Efficient Inference,” explores how photonic systems can transform AI inference by dramatically improving speed and energy efficiency. This work reflects our continued focus on bridging advanced photonics and machine learning to enable next-generation computing systems. 📍 IEEE Symposium on Low-Power and High-Speed Chips and Systems (#COOLChips29) 📅 Friday, April 17, 2026 🕘 09:00–09:50 JST 📌 The University of Tokyo, Japan Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eG5V7iki #NECLabs #Photonics #AI
