Episode Notes In this episode of Sunday Edition, Anthony sits down with Gabriel Habech, the co-creator of Fovionics, to dive deep into the story behind a revolutionary piece of wearable tech designed for the blind and low vision community. Gabriel shares how he and his co-founder first met while studying engineering at FIU and began collaborating on ways to use technology for real-world impact. Inspired by Gabriel's close family friend Augusto — who lost his vision at age 7 — the two began exploring solutions that address challenges canes alone can't solve. The result: Fovionics smart glasses, equipped with innovative object detection sensors and an AI companion built specifically with feedback from our community. During this insightful conversation, Anthony and Gabriel walk through the development process step-by-step, answer listener questions, and unpack how Fovionics is the first to use this specific type of sensor in smart glasses, allowing for detection of hazards like low-hanging branches and signage — often missed by traditional mobility tools. They also discuss the real cost of access technology, how Fovionics' subscription model can help ease financial barriers, and why early community involvement is essential. With only 200 Early Adopter slots available and about 30% already filled, there's still a chance to help shape a tool that could transform lives — making it more responsive, intuitive, and affordable.

SMART Photonics is een van de pioniers op het gebied van de productie van fotonische chips. Waar traditionele elektronische chips werken met elektronen, maken fotonische chips gebruik van lichtdeeltjes om informatie te verwerken. Dat maakt ze sneller, energiezuiniger en beter geschikt voor toepassingen waar hoge bandbreedte en lage latency essentieel zijn. Denk aan communicatie, sensoren en bepaalde vormen van kunstmatige intelligentie. De stap naar fotonica moeten we zien als een chips met nieuwe toepassingen, die naast de traditionele halfgeleider komen te staan. De productie van fotonische chips verschilt fundamenteel van die van reguliere chips. De architectuur wijkt af, net als het proces zelf. Waar bij elektronische chips de nadruk ligt op transistors en elektrische geleiding, draait het bij fotonica om golfgeleiders en optische componenten. SmartPhotonics is onderdeel van een complex ecosysteem. Het maakt deel uit van een bredere community van ontwikkelaars, klanten en toeleveranciers. De vraag groeit snel, onder meer vanuit de auto-industrie, dronetoepassingen, de medische wereld en meer. Smart Photonics heeft als doel om snel te schalen, met de groeiende vraag mee. In Europa is fotonica een klein onderdeel van de Chips Act, als een niche binnen de dominante siliciumindustrie. Dat is anders in de Verenigde Staten en China, waar grootschalige subsidies zorgen voor stevige concurrentie. In Nederland is er wel vooruitgang, mede door initiatieven als Tech Champions en nieuwe regelingen zoals de aanpassing van de optieregeling.

Tyndall researcher awarded €1.58 million from the renowned funding body, European Research Council (ERC), to support his groundbreaking research. IPIC, the SFI Centre for Photonics based at Tyndall National Institute (a research flagship of University College Cork), is pleased to announce that Dr Sanathana Konugolu Venkata Sekar has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. The grant, worth €1.58m, will support Dr Konugolu Venkata Sekar's groundbreaking research project NOBIAS: "Novel diffuse Optical method to combat skin colour bias in non-invasive optical biomarker sensing devices". Skin colour bias in optical healthcare devices affects 2.2 billion people of colour worldwide. Dr Konugolu's project, NOBIAS, aims to develop a revolutionary Time Domain Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy (TDDOS) method to eliminate colour bias, motion artefacts and inaccuracies in optical biomarker devices such as pulse oximeters (used to measure oxygen levels in blood) and smartwatches. This pioneering technology will address the critical need for more accurate and equitable medical diagnostics by focusing on the influence of skin pigmentation, variations in skin layer thickness, and composition across different ethnicities. The goal is to create a bias-free foundation for optical biomarker assessments that will enable a new era of accurate optical biomarker sensors for fitness and clinical bedside monitors. The prestigious ERC Starting Grants, awarded by Europe's leading research funding body, are designed to support emerging research leaders in building their independent teams and conducting pioneering research with the potential for significant global impact. Speaking about his work, Dr Konugolu explains: "My goal with the NOBIAS project is to lay the foundation for the world's first bias-free and accurate optical biomarker sensing device, and our hope is that its legacy will be the gold standard for bias-free clinical and personal biomarkers sensing". Professor Paul Townsend, Head of Photonics, Tyndall and Director of IPIC, said: "Dr Konugolu has consistently impressed me with his passion and commitment to the generation of new ideas and knowledge, as well as his ability to commercialise those ideas to realise new medical technologies that will benefit society in the future. This significant award confirms his outstanding potential as a world-leading biophotonics researcher, and I am confident the project will lead to new innovations that will be very impactful for the field". Welcoming the news, Martin O'Connell, EU Programme Manager at IPIC, said: "ERC grants are among the most prestigious of any funding body worldwide, and the successful award is a testament to the research excellence consistently on display on an ongoing basis in IPIC."

Scientists have found that levels of CRP correlate with changes in inflammation, disease activity, tissue damage, and more. This is a key marker to track for health and longevity.  The standard ranges in the medical field for different markers may be completely different from what is considered healthy in the functional medicine field. For example, insulin numbers in the functional field are considered healthy between the 7 to 10 range, while up to 24.9 is considered the standard range in the medical field.

I'll bet that you didn't know that the original concept for what became the Apple Thunderbolt interface involved optical communication. Well, in this fascinating podcast with Dr. Mader, you will learn that intriguing backstory and much more.  Mader also provides a helpful introduction to silicon photonics technology and applications. Importantly, OpenLight's business model is designed to allow them to become an Arm-like IP provider for silicon photonics. “We're the first open siliconics platform that has the lasers and amplifiers integrated on the chip,” explains Mader. With the OpenLight Process Design Kit (PDK), customers can integrate InP lasers and amplifiers directly into their silicon IC designs at Tower Semiconductor. While the silicon can be  employed to guide, modulate, and detect light, you need the InP to amplify. OpenLight literally brings the silicon and the InP together with molecular bonding. While silicon photonic is already making inroads in a number of important applications, Mader is “excited about the long tail of applications” enabled by OpenLight and their customers. In addition, Mader recounts his rich technology background that includes developing a patent while interning at Apple, being involved in an early Amazon commercial product, directing engineering at a startup that was inquired by Intel, and his family connections to the legendary Fairchild Semiconductor and our podcast's name inspiration, Gordon Moore. So, listen in for other interesting tidbits from this discussion with Mader, including these technical insights:  -A clear description of a silicon photonics system -What makes a quality integrated laser? -How amplitude modulation (AM) and phase modulation (PM) are employed is laser systems
