Panagiotis Vergyris

Photonic Technologies Program Manager, EPIC

Dr. Panagiotis Vergyris is the Photonic Technologies program manager at the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC). He has a background in quantum integrated photonics, optics and lasers, single-photon sources and detection schemes, atomic clocks and laser stabilization systems, and Brillouin and confocal microscopy. Before joining EPIC, he moved from academia into industry, working as an R&D engineer for Qualcomm and as a technology consultant in Leonardo S.p.A. He works mainly on optical manufacturing technologies and in the quantum photonics industry. He graduated with degrees in applied mathematics and physics from the National Technical University of Athens. He earned his Ph.D. at the University Cote DAzur in Quantum entanglement-based technologies.
