Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Becker is a physicist and photonic-machine-learning researcher with nine years of experience building the physical layer for next-generation AI, currently advancing industry-ready photonic neuromorphic computing at Fraunhofer HHI. He completed a PhD at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, where he published experimental work, implemented real-time heterodyne detection and pulsed multi-frequency techniques, and automated high-speed data pipelines with MATLAB and Python. His background spans applied ML and optics—from μLED characterization at HELLA to laser-based hardware at Purdue—plus a stint translating technical science for policy at the German Bundestag. Steven combines hands-on prototyping of MVPs and prototypes with project management and commercialization efforts, uniquely bridging deep experimental optics and product-focused development.
