In his talk, Professor Chan will address the technology and architecture research forefront of optical networks, including the local-area network (LAN), the Metro-area network (MAN) and the wide-area network (WAN). Emphasis will be placed on cross-network-layer architecture understanding, design and optimization.
Professor Chan will talk about some of the important research and development aspects of both optical access and long haul networks. He will identify the technology horizons of the future and forecast where the aggressive improvement in performance and drastic reduction in cost can come from.
Professor Vincent W.S. Chan is the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Director of the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from MIT in the area of communications in 1974 and has worked in several communication technology groups. Currently, he also serves as the principal investigator of a new Next Generation Internet Consortium (ONRAMP) formed among AT&T, Cabletron, MIT and JDS Fitel, and another Satellite Networking Consortium formed among MIT, Motorola, Teledesic and Globalstar.
Professor Chan's research interests are in optical communications, wireless communications, space communications and networks. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Optical Society of America.
Members of the Press and interested party are cordially invited to attend.
