Dr Ashwini of CH11125 - Delhi Section Chapter,EP21

At the recent EPDMC track on “Accelerating AI with HBI / Photonics”, one thing became very clear.
There is deep curiosity in the ecosystem.
Students.
Engineers.
Industry leaders.
Many are asking the same question:
How will photonics shape the future of computing and industrial systems?

To continue this conversation, we are hosting a focused learning session.
A short but meaningful program designed to simplify the topic and connect it to real industry needs.
