The Optical Networks Group were awarded several prestigious research grants and fellowships this year – full details below.
Modelling of ultra-wide band transmission
Funder: Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship
Recipient: Dr Anastasiia Vasylchenkova
Summary: Anastasiia will advance models of fibre propagation over very large bandwidths, and apply the results to the development of next generation of optical communication systems.

Massive spatial parallelism in optical fibres for expanding Internet capacity
Funder: UKRI Future Leaders Fellow
Recipient: Dr Filipe Ferreira (UCL)
Summary: Filipe will put together a multidisciplinary team to develop a new photonic processor that merges photonic integrated circuits and machine learning so that large-scale spatial parallelism can be achieved within every optical fibre.

Advanced Signal Generation and Detection System for Next-generation Ultra-wideband Communication Networks
Funder: EPSRC Strategic Equipment
Recipient: Professor Polina Bayvel
Summary: This project will create an advanced, world leading signal generation and detection test-bed for advanced communications systems research.
Space division multiplexed optical networks: When, where and how
Funder: EPSRC & BT
Recipient: Dr Georgios Zervas
Summary: This project will use space division multiplexing (SDM) technologies in metropolitan and core networks in order to solve the internet capacity crunch.
Optics for Distributed Learning
Funder: Microsoft
Recipient: Dr Georgios Zervas
Summary: This project will develop large scale distributed learning computing systems, using new topologies, partitioning and scheduling strategies over optical networks.
