Academic biography
Dr. Prince Anandarajah
received the B.Eng (Electronic Engineering) degree from University of Nigeria,
Nsukka in 1992. Subsequently, he worked as an Instructor/Maintenance Engineer
at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology. On completing his M.Eng (1998),
he joined the Radio and Optical Communications Group at DCU where he obtained
his PhD degree (2003). He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher until 2006
and later as a Research Officer with the High Speed Devices and Systems centre which
is part of the Rince institute (2007). He then held a DCU senior research
fellow position until 2016 and is currently a lecturer with the School of
Electronic Engineering at DCU. His main research interests include high-speed
optical communications, photonic sensing, direct modulation techniques,
generation and optimization of optical frequency combs and short optical pulses,
spectrally efficient modulation formats and radio-over-fibre distribution
systems. In 2016, he was presented with the DCU president’s research award for
outstanding research achievements. He has published over 200 articles in
internationally peer reviewed journals and conferences and is also a holder of 5
international patents, 2 of which have been licenced by industry. He is also a
founder and a director of a spin-off company called Pilot Photonics. He is a
senior member of the IEEE.
