Muhammet Genc has been a Researcher in the III-V Materials and Devices Group at the Tyndall National Institute in Ireland since 2020. In addition to his research role, he serves as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Vivid Photonics (previously iSLight), where he spearheads technical efforts to advance horizontal cavity and surface-emitting superluminescent diodes (SLDs) for application in AR/VR, lidar, and machine vision markets. His primary research focuses on the development of scalable III-V semiconductor devices, including LASERs, SLDs, and micro-LEDs (µLEDs). He is also dedicated to the heterogeneous integration of these devices onto photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and waveguides using innovative transfer printing techniques. Prior to joining Tyndall, he worked for a high power semiconductor laser company (Eon Photonics, also known as Ermaksan), Bilkent University’s Advanced Research Labs (ARL) and National Nanotechnology Research Centre in Türkiye
