Biography 

Wenting Yi received a BEng degree in Electronic Information Engineering from Nanjing Forestry University, China, in 2017, and MSc degree in Wireless and Optical Communications from University College London (UCL), UK, in 2018.
 
In September 2018, Wenting joined the Optical Networks Group as a PhD candidate. Under the supervision of Prof Robert Killey and Prof Polina Bayvel, she is currently working on coherent and direct detection optical transceivers for long-haul and short-reach links, focusing on advanced signal formats and digital signal processing. Her research interests include:  

  • Coherent and direct detection optical receivers
  • Optical signal propagation in dispersive nonlinear fibres
  • Digital signal processing algorithms, e.g. Kramers-Kronig scheme, digital back propagation, constellation shaping, machine learning
  • Optical sensing techniques, e.g., light detection and ranging (LiDAR)
