Matěj Hejda

Matěj Hejda obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute of Photonics at the University of Strathclyde in 2023. He worked in Dr. Antonio Hurtado’s group, focusing on neuromorphic information processing using lasers and optoelectronic systems as functional primitives towards more efficient, light-enabled computing.

In 2023, he joined the EU-based team of the Large-Scale Integrated Photonics (LSIP) group in Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where he currently works as an Architecture & System Design Research Scientist. His main research is focused on integrated photonic architectures for AI acceleration, exploring practical use-cases in such accelerators and investigating spike-based photonic computing.

His other interests include neuro-inspired information processing, silicon photonics and photonic-electronic systems, hardware-software co-design and application-specific unconventional computing.
