ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic,
Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its
proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher
speeds with less power, today announced the appointment
of Dr. John Zyskind – a veteran of
the telecom and data communications industries with vast experience
with systems, transceiver design, silicon foundries, integrated
photonics, and reliability – to spearhead the Company's engineering
teams ahead of commercialization and scale up with foundry
partners.
Dr. Zyskind most recently served as Vice President of
Engineering, Quality and Reliability at Skorpios, where he led the
due diligence and selection of the company's foundry partners
for fabrication of its Silicon photonic integrated
circuits (PICs), as well as PIC qualification and reliability
testing. Prior to Skorpios, Dr. Zyskind served in engineering
leadership positions at Bell Laboratories, Sycamore Networks,
Optovia (the assets of which were later acquired by JDSU) and
Mintera (later acquired by Oclaro). Dr. Zyskind's projects included
seminal work on the development of optical amplifiers for
wavelength division multiplexed systems, high-capacity long-haul
WDM telecommunication systems, and high-capacity optical
transceiver modules for the data communication and data center
markets.

Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, commented: "The addition of
John to our team is truly exciting as we position ourselves to
fulfill our end-goal of making our electro-optic polymers
ubiquitous in the marketplace. I've personally seen John's
contributions to telecom and datacom over the past two decades from
prestigious leadership positions at Bell Labs through to working
with silicon foundries in his last position.
"John's extensive experience in our space will enable a
smoother, more efficient commercialization process. I look forward
to closely working with him as we strive to create sustainable,
long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Lebby.
