Laboratory Leader

Professor Alwyn SEEDS

Alwyn Seeds received the B.Sc. degree in Electronics in 1976 and the Ph.D. Degree in Electronic Engineering in 1980, and the D.Sc. degree in Engineering in 2002, all from the University of London. From 1980 to 1983 he was a Staff Member at Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked on monolithic millimetre-wave integrated circuits for use in phased-array radar. He was appointed Lecturer in Telecommunications at Queen Mary College, University of London in 1983. In 1986 he moved to University College London where he is currently Professor of Opto-electronics and leader of the Ultra-fasst Photonics Laboratory.

Professor Seeds is author of over 200 papers on microwave and opto-electronic devices and their systems applications and presenter of the video "Microwave Opto-electronics" in the IEEE Emerging Technologies series. His current research interests include microwave bandwidth tuneable lasers, optical control of microwave devices, mode-locked lasers, optical phase-lock loops, optical frequency synthesis, dense WDM networks, optical signal regeneration and the application of optical techniques to microwave and Tera-Hertz systems. He is an IEEE Fellow, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Chairman of the Photonics Professional Network of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and a member of the Microwave Photonics committee of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-optics Society. He has served as Chairman or committee member of numerous international conferences.
