Optical Fiber Communication Systems Digital Modulation Techniques
Biography
Dr Elias Giacoumidis is a Marie-Curie Research Fellow at Dublin City University & SFI CONNECT Research Centre of Ireland. His current collaborative project with Xilinx-Ireland tackles the “capacity crunch” in optical fiber communications harnessing energy-efficient optical and digital technologies (Project EPIC: Energy-efficient and Phase-Insensitive Coherent Communications).
He has previously worked for various prestigious optical communications research groups including Heriot-Watt University, University of Sydney CUDOS (deputy project leader), Aston University, Telecom-ParisTech, Athens Information Technology centre and Bangor University (PhD scholarship). He has authored/co-authored about 110 papers that appeared in international peer-reviewed journals and top conferences with more than 1100 citations from Google-Scholar.
His research involves balanced theoretical and experimental exploration in high-capacity optical transmission systems with specialization in key modern signal processing techniques such as OFDM, CAP, PAM-8 etc. and nonlinear photonics (e.g. Brillouin amplifiers) for next-generation local, access and long-haul optical networks. Dr Giacoumidis is the principal investigator of the world’s-first cost-effective direct-detected optical Fast-OFDM transmission system. He was the first to implement digital-based machine learning for fiber nonlinearity mitigation in multi-carrier coherent optical communications. Dr Giacoumidis is a member of IEEE and OSA and was nominated an outstanding reviewer of 2016 for the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology.
