Le Nguyen Binh

Le Nguyen Binh received the degrees of B.E.(Summa Cum Laude), Ph.D. and Dr.Eng. in Electronic Engineering and Integrated Photonics and Optical Transmission Systems, all from the University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Western Australia. He then joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of Monash University as Reader/Professeur after a stint three years period with CSIRO Australia (Canberra) as a research scientist conducting research on super parallel computing systems.

He has worked as principal research engineer/scientist for Siemens AG Central Research Laboratories in Munich and the Advanced Technology Centre of Nortel Networks in Harlow, U.K. He was appointed as Professorial Fellow at the Christian Albretchs University of Kiel, Deutschland and the Tan-Chin Tuan Professorial Fellow of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is currently acting as adjunct professor with a number of universities around the world.

Besides Integrated Optics and Photonics, he has worked on several major advanced world-class projects, especially the Tb/s and 100 Gb/s DWDM non-coherent and coherent optical transmission systems for long haul, metro and access networks employing both direct and coherent detection techniques under DCM-compensated and ultra-long non-DCM compensated optical transmission line. He worked for the Department of Optical Communications of Siemens AG Central Research Laboratories in Munich and the Advanced Technology Centre of Nortel Networks in Harlow, U.K.

Prof.Dr.Dr.Eng. Binh has authored and co-authored more than 300 papers in leading ISI journals and refereed conferences and 12 books in the field of photonic signal processing and digital optical communications, all published by CRC Press, Taylors and Francis Group LLC. of Boca Raton, Florida (USA)(www. crcpress.com). His research interests over the years are in the fields of integrated photonics, photonic signal processing and advanced optical transmission systems and networks.

While in the university sector, he developed and read several courses in engineering such as Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Physical Electronics, Small Signal Electronics, Large Signal Electronics, Signals and Systems, Signal Processing, Digital Systems, Micro-Computer Systems, Electromagnetism, Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics, Communications Theory, Coding and Communications, Optical Communications, Advanced Optical Fiber Communications, Advanced Photonics, Integrated Photonics, Fiber Optics. He led several course and curriculum developments in electrical and electronic engineering (EEE) and joint courses between physics and EEE.

From Jan. 2011 he has been appointed Technical Director, the European Research Center of Huawei Technologies in Munich, Deutschland. His current research research responsibilities/interests include Multi-Peta-bps optical transmission systems and networks, Si-photonics and integrated nano-photonic-nano-electronics, ultra-high speed optical modulation techniques and associate methods to mitigate nonlinear impairments, Convergence of wireless and optical technologies in 5G networks, novel techniques for nonlinear equalization using high order spectral methods and non-linear FFT; advanced photonic signal processing techniques and demo systems. He has received four Gold Medal Awards by Huawei Technologies for these research advances.

Prof.Dr.Dr.Eng. Binh chaired (1995-2005) the Commission D on Electronics and Photonics of the National Committee of Radio Sciences of the Australian Academy of Sciences. He currently contributes as the Editor of CRC Press "Series on Optics and Photonics", and associate Editior of SPIE Journal of Optical Engineering .

Le Binh is an alumnus of the Phan Chu Trinh and Phan Boi Chau Highs of Phan Thiet Vietnam.
