At Eurostar terminal in Rotterdam awaiting train homeward to Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies Engineering@Aston after lightning fast visit to @TUeindhoven hosted by Chigoziem Okonkwo and @EtnWon partner Nicola Calabretta and teams. Great labs. Hope to have more time, next time.

Very busy ECOC_Conference plenary session, looking forward to hearing Dave Welch of Infinera & Christoph Glingener of ADVA. Also later to a special symposium on “50 years of optical fibre” & welcome reception at Basel Markthalle with @EtnWon and Engineering@Aston.

Happy to be travelling to speak at CLEO 2023’s Special Symposium “Celebrating Optical-Guided Wave Solitons”, lnkd.in/ejxaUnrE alongside Im(Sergei K. Turitsyn) from Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies and Engineering@Aston, and to meet Dr Natsupa Taengnoi of ORC Southampton whose excellent PhD thesis I read recently.

Next week we will host workshop “Advances in UWB optical fibre communications: potential, challenges, solutions” The event will address some of the key challenges in optical fibre communications emphasising on band-limited optical transmission systems. 👉🏻 bit.ly/42IOlt2

On coach home (no trains) after a busy week at #CLEO2023. Great to catch up with old Aston University pal Steve, former Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies and UCL EEE PhDs Pavel & Daniel, both now at Infinera, Leily of National Ignition Facility, & many more at Special Symposium “Celebrating … solitons”

Lovely morning in The Forest of Arden and at Aston University where we’re keenly anticipating a 2nd Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies international workshop on UltraWideBand @EtnWon beginning with talks by distinguished speakers Dr Ming-Jun Li of Corning OpComm and Dr David Neilsen of Bell Labs

Another fine day in England’s second city at Aston University Looking forward to a second great day at Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies UWB workshop beginning with talks by Prof Jayanta Sahu of ORC Southampton and Dr Nick Fontaine of Bell Labs

Nick Fontaine of Bell Labs explaining in a fantastic talk at Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies Engineering@Aston that every optical fibre “has a personality”. IEEE Photonics Society

Happy to be travelling down from Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies for the UCL EEE Festival of Research taking place today. Promises an exceptionally broad range of exciting EEE research, including from the joint UCL Aston University Cambridge University TRANSNET.

💡|One of the leading lights in #photonics has been to Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies 🗣️Dr. Ming-Jun Li gave key presentation at annual workshop 🔎Discussed key challenges in optical communication specifically ultra-wide band optical transmission systems bit.ly/3ow6BaH #TeamAston

Bring your colleague to TOP Conference! Until 31st Jan, book one delegate pass and get another half price! To book visit buff.ly/3R5JAqx and add two 2-day delegate passes and the discount will be applied automatically. We look forward to seeing you in London next month!

BREAKING: We helped NICT achieve a record-breaking data rate of 301 Tb/s in a commercially available standard optical fiber! These new optical amplifiers & gain equalizers for a new (E) band could help meet future demand & services. Here's how: nokia.ly/3vUjHSu

Inviting bright people to join us. Want to help them to flourish in science/engineering/industry.

Stormy day in London, but excited to be going with many from Engineering@Aston to TOP Conference starting with keynotes by Harald Bock of Infinera & Ben Puttnam of 情報通信研究機構

A 2nd blustery day in London but happy to be on way to TOP Conference from Engineering@Aston anticipating great opening keynote talks from Profs Graham Reed of ORC Southampton & Dominic O'Brien of University of Oxford

Spotting this iconic part of UK telecoms infrastructure in the news this morning en route to the TOP Conference reminded me of fantastic @epsrc TRANSNET researchers event hosted there last year thanks to Andrew Lord of BT and Polina Bayvel of UCL EEE

Delighted to be Celebrating Women in STEM at Engineering@Aston, beginning with a super talk from Prof Kate Sugden of Aston University and Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies

A big thanks to the Aston_Optica/SPIE/IEEE for organising a nice event celebrating Women in #STEM, and all the attendees and speakers
