Nokia Bell Labs
Dr. David T. Neilson is the Group Leader for Optical Transmission Research and a Principal Researcher in Network Architecture at Nokia Bell Labs, NJ USA. He leads research into the next generation of terrestrial and undersea optical systems, including ultra-high baud rates, modulation formats and coding and the use of space division multiplexing and wide band transmission for scaling system capacities. He joined Bell-Labs in 1998, where he has also lead research on optical switching systems and on opto-electronic integration. He received the B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K., in 1990 and 1993, respectively. From 1993 to 1996, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher working on free-space optical interconnect and switching systems with Heriot-Watt. From 1996 to 1998, he was a Visiting Scientist with NEC Research, Princeton, NJ, researching optical interconnects for high-performance computing systems. He is Bell Labs Fellow and an IEEE Fellow.
