Biography
Hitoshi Kawashima received the Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 1993. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow with MIT from 1993 to 1995, where he worked on pulse-shaping technology for femtosecond optical pulses. In 1995, he joined the Electrotechnical Laboratory. In 2001, the Electrotechnical Laboratory and other 14 national research laboratories were reorganized as the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba, Japan. Since 2008, he has been working on silicon photonics and its applications to a circuit switch. His research interests include integrated optics, nonlinear optics, and diagnostic techniques with ultrashort optical pulses.,Dr. Kawashima is a member of OSA, IEICE, and Japan...
