Research Interests
I am interested in scalable approaches to increase fiber capacity, including multi-band transmission and efficient use of existing optical infrastructure. My broader goal is to develop practical and cost-effective techniques for next-generation high-capacity optical networks .
My current research interests focus on optical communication systems with an emphasis on O-band wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) for short- and medium-reach links. I investigate nonlinear effects such as four-wave mixing and their impact on system performance near the zero-dispersion wavelength, where nonlinear interactions become particularly pronounced. My last work explores how carrier-phase relationships influence these effects and how tailored phase configurations can mitigate nonlinear impairments and improve transmission performance.
