Mark
Shtaif began his work in the area of optical communications in the fiber
optics communication laboratory at the Technion in Israel. His initial area of expertise centered on
the modeling and experimental characterization of devices based on
semiconductor optical amplifiers and diode lasers. He received his MSc and
PhD degrees in electrical engineering at the Technion in 1993 and 1997,
respectively. In 1997 he joined the Light-wave Networks Research Department
at AT&T Labs Research as Senior and then Principal Member of Technical
Staff. In AT&T his work was centered on modeling and characterization of
optical fiber communication systems focusing on propagation effects in
optical fibers including fiber nonlinearities, polarization mode dispersion,
special modulation formats and interaction of signals and noise. During his
employment in AT&T he consulted to the AT&T business units on the
integration of fiber-optic technologies. In 2000 he became a Principal
Architect in Celion Networks, an optical networking company, where he worked
on the analysis and design of long-haul optical transmission systems. In
April 2002 he joined the |
