“Nearly everyone in the silicon photonics industry can trace their work back in some way, shape or form to the foundational work Michael has led over the past two decades. He is a member of the TR35 Asia and is an Optica Fellow. Internationally, Hochberg has won the top awards for young researchers: the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in the US and the NRF Fellowship in Singapore. His work has been cited over 14,000 times in the scientific literature, and his co-authored book, Silicon Photonics Design: From Devices to Systems, has been widely adopted as a textbook in the field. Hochberg has held faculty positions and directed research groups at several universities, achieving tenure at the age of 32. Hochberg’s business success is matched by his academic achievements. Elenion was acquired by Nokia, where Hochberg served as CTO of the Optical Subsystems business. He most recently was a founder at Elenion, where they commercialized 100G, 200G and 400G integrated coherent transceivers, plus 400G datacenter chipsets. Hochberg started Silicon Lightwave Services, later acquired by Marlin Equity Partners. Luxtera was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2018 for $660,000,000. Simulant was acquired as part of founding his next venture, Luxtera, the first company to make silicon photonics in a CMOS foundry and first to monolithically integrate transistors with silicon photonics. He started his first company, Simulant, which offered the first purpose-built commercial tool for silicon photonics design, at the age of 19. Hochberg has founded four companies, each of which have been acquired, including two acquisitions by leading telecommunications companies. His years of experience both in photonic engineering and in building high-tech companies makes him uniquely qualified to guide Luminous’ development. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-( BUSINESS WIRE)- Luminous Computing, the machine learning systems company building the world’s most powerful AI supercomputers, today announced the appointment of Michael Hochberg as President, where he is running engineering and operations.
