Join the UCL Optical Networksgroups (ONG) to celebrate the Professorship of Robert Killey as he delivers his Inaugural Lecture.
Professor Robert Killey will deliver his Inaugural Lecture entitled 'Optical communications in the 2040s: future photonic technology advances for exabit/s networks'.
Robert's lecture will form a part of the ONG 25 year celebration 2-day workshop entitled 'Optical Networks-the next 25 years'. We have expert speakers across industry and academia in attendance. If you would like to register for the 2day workshop and Robert's lecture, please register at ong25.eventbrite.co.uk. Otherwise, register via this page if you'd like to attend just the lecture.
About the Speaker
Professor Robert Killey
at UCL Optical Networks Group
Robert Killey received his B.Eng. degree in Electronic and Communications Engineering from the University of Bristol, U.K., in 1992 and the M.Sc. degree in Microwaves and Optoelectronics from UCL, U.K., in 1994. He received the D.Phil. degree from the University of Oxford, U.K., in 1998.
His doctoral work was on InGaAsP Fabry–Perot optical modulators and their applications in soliton communications. He has been a member of academic staff at UCL since 2000.
His current research includes modelling and experimental investigations of the effects of fibre nonlinearity on high bit-rate WDM data transmission, simplified direct detection and coherent optical transceivers and the applications of digital signal processing for transmission impairment mitigation in high capacity optical communication systems.
