Image coming soon. 

TRANSNET Co-Investigator

Zhixin Liu received the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in 2012. Upon Ph.D. graduation, he received the Hong Kong Creative Fund and cofounded a start-up company. In 2013, he joined the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton in the UK and became a Senior Research Fellow in 2015.

In 2016, he joined the Optical Networks Group at the department of electronics and electrical engineering at UCL. Prof Liu is a senior member IEEE and senior member OSA. He receives OSA Outstanding Reviewer Award in 2018.

Zhixin is currently a co-investigator on the EPSRC TRANSNET project; a multidisciplinary research programme investigating intelligent resource allocation in dynamic optical networks

Prof Zhixin Liu has published more than 70 papers in internationally-leading journals and conferences, with several high-profile papers including Nat. Comm., Invited papers in Journal of Lightwave Technology and highly prestigious post-deadline papers in top conference of the field (Optical Fiber Communication Conference, OFC, European Conference of Optical Communications, ECOC). Being knowledgeable in both software (digital signal processing) and hardware technologies (optoelectronic devices and systems), Prof Liu endeavours to overcome fundamental limitations in signal generation, processing and detection. 

Research interests:

  • Optical transmitters for short and medium reach optical communication systems using optical signal processing and photonic integration;
  • Laser dynamics for generation of high-fidelity signals; 
  • Digital and analog signal processing for low latency and power-aware optical communications.

Prof Liu’s research is funded by EPSRC, Royal Society, and industry partners including Microsoft, Eblana Photonics and Huawei Inc. For more information please visitwww.zhixinliu.net
