Romeo Selvas (Ph.D.)

Prof Selvas received his B.S. degree in electronics from the Tuxtla Gutierrez Institute of Technology and an MSc in Optics from the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics in Mexico in 1995 and 1998, respectively. During his MSc thesis work, he focused on investigating an erbium-doped single-mode fiber laser. From 1998 through 2003, he worked towards his Ph.D. at the Optoelectronics Research Centre of the University of Southampton in England, where his Ph.D. thesis focused on high-power ytterbium- and neodymium-doped fiber lasers. His research work to date has resulted in over 65 publications in scientific journals (JCR) and six patents. Collaborating with his colleagues at ORC, he achieved several record-breaking results and many world-first demonstrations of different photonics sources. His current research interests include high-power fiber lasers, nonlinear optics, and fiber sensors for telecom, sustainable energy, Smart City, and industrial applications
