Dr Shyqyri Haxha (Royal Holloway University of London)
Design of Photonic devices, RF over Fibers for future Radar and Wireless Communication Systems
Dr Shyqyri Haxha (S’MIEEE and Associate Editor IEEE Sensors Journal) received the MSc and PhD degrees from City University in London in 2000 and 2004, respectively. He has obtained several world class industrial E.M.B.A. and M.B.A. diplomas. He is a Reader in Electronic Engineering in Royal Holloway, University of London, Department of Electronic Engineering. He was also a reader in Photonics in the Computer Science and Technology, University of Bedfordshire, Luton in United Kingdom. Prior to these posts, he was a lecturer in Optic Communication in the Electronics Department, Kent University, Canterbury, United Kingdom. Dr Haxha has also research expertise on photonic crystal devices, metamaterials, biosensors, photonic crystal fibers, geometrical optics, surface plasmon polaritons, ultra-high-speed electro-optic modulators, Optical CDMA and Optical MIMO systems. His current research interest include, Microwave Photonics, RF transmission over Fiber Optics, and designing and demonstrating optical sensors for personal health monitoring and environmental applications. Dr Haxha’s talk will be on designing Microwave and Photonic devices and systems for telecoms and sensor applications. All-optical processing and controlling of RF signals for future Radar and Wireless communication systems with high conversion efficiency using novel configuration schemes over a wide range of frequencies with high SFDR, low noise and suppression of high-order harmonics.
