Daniel Torrent, researcher in the Optics section with a Ramón y Cajal contract, has managed to get his DYNAMO project funded by the Horizon Europe program, through the EIC Pathfinder call.
The project, led by the UJI, is made up of 13 partners: the State Agency of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) of France, the Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine of the United Kingdom , the Stanislaw Staszic University of Mining and Metallurgy in Krakow, the European Association of Development Agencies of France, the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of the Valencian Community, the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness, the Finnovaregio entity, the French Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology, the Universitat Jaume I-Empresa Foundation, the Pierre et Marie Curie Association, Holoeye Photonics AG and the Sorbonne University.
The EIC Pathfinder DYNAMO project will develop new spatial light modulators based on opto-acoustic coupling. Such light modulators are currently limited by the update rate of the device, but the new system developed by DYNAMO will eliminate this limitation, thus creating a fundamental technological advance in the area of optics.
