Patrick Steglich received his Ph.D. in industrial engineering in 2017 from the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, with a focus on integrated photonics for communication and sensing. He is a research associate with the IHP— Leibniz-Institut für Innovative Mikroelektronik, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, and also a lecturer in photonics and optical technologies at the Technische Hochschule, Wildau. His current

research is focused on the hybrid integration of novel materials into a photonic integrated circuit technology for telecommunications and biosensing applications. Key applications include silicon-organic hybrid modulators and photonic biosensors for point-of-care and environmental monitoring.
