Jhonattan Ramirez received his B.Sc. in Computer and Telecommunications Engineering from Universidad Católica de Pereira in 2009, M.Sc. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB – Medellin) in 2012, and PhD. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in 2017.
Jhonattan was a visiting Ph.D. researcher between 2014 and 2015, at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Between 2018 and 2019 he was at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), focusing his research on graphene electro-optical modulators. Currently, he holds a position at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) as an Assistant Professor at the Electronic Engineering Department in the Engineering School.
As a scientist Jhonattan is actively involved in developing technological solutions through new manufacturing processes focused on integrated micro- and nano-photonic devices based on silicon and polymer photonics, and its implementation in telecommunication applications, and sensor components. He was elected as OPTICA Ambassador (Formerly Optical Society of America – OSA) within the 2022 class. He is also an IEEE Senior Member (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), member of OPTICA (a global leadership society for optics and photonics), Brazilian Photonics Society (SBFoton), and Brazilian Microelectronics Society (SBMicro).
