Bio: Mark graduated with a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Melbourne in 1997 for his research in high speed optical signal generation from semiconductor lasers and soliton compression in optical fibres. Through to 2001 he was a Research Fellow at the Femtosecond Technology Research Association (FESTA) in Japan, where he investigated ultra-short optical pulse technologies for high-speed optical communications, including high quality pulse generation using soliton compression in optical fibres, short pulse amplification, all-optical switching in fibre devices, higher-order dispersion compensation and optical short pulse measurement and characterization. Following FESTA, he was a Senior Hardware Engineer at Corvis Corp. in Maryland, U.S.A. where he developed a prototype electro-optic transmitter/receiver for long-haul DWDM optical communications.
