Dr John Mitchell
Senior Lecturer in Telecommunications
Director, IGDP Telecommunications for Industry

I received my first degree a BEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the Department of Electronic Engineering, University College London in 1996 and my PhD in 2000. My PhD was conducted in the Telecommunications Research Group led by Prof. Sir J J O'Reilly examining "Modelling of the performance of Optical Networks.". In this project I looked at the many considerations that are needed when planning modern optical networks, specifically those involving WDM. This included work investigating interferometric noise and computer simulation of spectrally sliced systems to support millimetre wave distribution and investigations of how some of these metrics may be applied to the transport of radar signals over optical fibre, specifically for true-time delay beamforming networks. This project was supported by EPSRC and Marconi Research Centre, Great Baddow.

Since 2000 I have been a Lecturer with the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, UCL, becoming a Senior Lecturer in 2006.

My research interest are in the following areas:

* Radio over fibre technologies and networks for future mobile communications architectures, fixed wireless access platforms and optical beamforming networks.
* Analytic modelling and computer simulation of noise and interference effects in DWDM optical networks. Crosstalk and interferometric noise in optical networks and systems.
* Access network technologies and novel modulation formats.
* Radio Technologies for Wireless Sensor Networks

I act as IET Student Counsellor and IEEE UK/RI Communications Chapter University Liason Officer.
