The Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, and Photonics Institute (TeCIP) of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa was created in 2001 as a Centre of Excellence funded by the Italian University, Scientific and Technological Research Ministry.
The core research domains in the TeCIP Institute are:
- Telecommunication networks, systems and components implemented with partial or full use of photonic technologies and relevant software control techniques;
- Cyber-physical systems, real-time computing, artificial intelligence and cyber-security;
- Photonic Integrated Circuits for datacom, sensors and networks and biophotonics.
