EDUCATION
Ph.D. in Optical Devices and Materials, 1991-1995
Imperial College, EEE Department, London, UK
Thesis: Nonlinear and active optical devices on silicon for optical communications. Suitable materials
for semiconductor (CdS, CdSe, PbS, PbSe) and rare-earth (Er, Yb, Nd) dopants were synthesized
-8 -7 2
and channel waveguides with large χ(3) (10 -10 cm /kW) and gain (1.5dB/cm) were developed
through CO2 laser processing and photolithography. A novel technique (Molecular Probe
Ellipsometry) was developed for the design, modeling and study of thin film microstructures.
B.Eng. (Honors) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 1987-1991
South Bank University, EEE Department, London, UK
Senior Project: Development of an Instrumentation amplifier, and of a software program in
Pascal/Turbo Pascal for the design, modeling and simulation of optical components.
