Jianming Tang
Dr Jianming Tang received his Ph.D. degree in Optoelectronics from the University of Wales, Bangor, U.K. in 1999. Immediately after obtaining the PhD degree, he joined the University of Wales, Bangor as a postdoctoral researcher working on picosecond optical switching and ultrafast nonlinearities of semiconductor optical devices.

His four years of research in Bangor (1996-2000) have generated 73 papers published in refereed professional journals and national and international conferences. From 2000 to 2004, he joined Nortel Networks, Harlow, UK as a Research Engineer conducting research on next generation high capacity optical communication systems.

His research activities have covered a broad range of areas including, for example, advanced transmission system design for Ethernet, metro and long-haul transmission links and development of various optical amplifiers and optical transceivers using optical and electrical signal processing.

In 2005 he joined the University of Wales, Bangor, as a Lecturer, and he was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2007. His current research interests include high speed communications systems, all-optical networking and semiconductor optical devices. He received a Royal Society Mercer Feasibility Award funded by the ERA Foundation.
