Romeo Selvas (Ph.D.)

Prof Selvas received his B.S degree in electronics from the Tuxtla Gutierrez Institute Technology and an MSc. on Optics from the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics, Mexico, respectively, in 1995 and 1998. During his MSc. thesis work, he focused on the investigation of 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 Selvas´s Ph.D. thesis was concentrated on high-power ytterbium-and-neodymium-doped fiber lasers. His research work up to date resulted in over 50 publications in scientific journals (JCR) and 6 patents. The collaboration with his colleagues at ORC led to several record-breakings and many world´s first demonstrations of different photonics sources. His current research interests are on high-power fiber lasers, nonlinear optics, and fiber sensors for telecom, sustainable energy, Smart City, and industrial applications.
