Place: 202 ECEC, NJIT

About the Presenter:

R: Prof. Antoniades received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Columbia University. His Ph.D. work focused on modeling of optical components and fiber optic communication systems and networks. He spent several years in the industry working for Bellcore (currently Telcordia Technologies) as well as Corning Inc. In Bellcore, Dr. Antoniades was involved with the construction of the first experimental prototype multi-wavelength optical networks (MONET and ONTC), the large-scale US government-supported research projects of the 90s that led to the expansion of the fiber optic networks as we know them today. At Corning Inc. his activities included design, engineering, and prototyping support of novel WDM solutions for the regional and metro optical networking space, product techno/economic value propositions and modeling of transmission impairments. Since 2003 Dr. Antoniades has been an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Engineering Science and Physics department at CSI/CUNY.

About the Talk:

 The talk will present concepts on the design, engineering and evaluation of end-to-end performance of circuit-switched wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical regional/ metropolitan area networks. Concepts like wavelength-, time-domain simulation and Q-budgeting will be presented in the context of Dense WDM (DWDM) optical networking. Current research work on the engineering and design of such networks as well as the interaction of physical and management layers of optical networks will be presented.
