    2. UPO team is currently involved in the project “Ultimate resolution limits in optical detection and metrology” (MEYS funding) focused on overcoming the standard limits of imaging and metrology usually associated with diffraction and other physical effects.
      Second project of relevance to the proposal topic, “Center of electron and photon optics” (TACR funding), is dedicated to improvement of standard metrology for industrial optical systems.
    3. PKH is currently involved in the Beyond Planck H2020 project (EC funding), with the aim to facilitate reproducibility of parallel algorithms, and to investigate techniques to replace expensive computing grid calculations with low cost local or remote GPU based environment by converting suitable code into low level representation for GPU execution.
    4. EPFL has a number of collaborations exploiting the SwissSPAD2 sensor array, most notably targeting phasor-based real-time FLIM (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging) with UCLA (Xavier Michalet, Shimon Weiss).
      It is also active in a number of projects funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), notably on the expansion of SPAD arrays to 3D architectures, to fully profit from the advanced electronic functionalities of modern silicon bottom tiers.
      EPFL is also actively exploring III-V materials for an extension of the spectrum to NIR wavelengths and beyond.
