About the Speaker

Son Thai Le has worked in the field of engineering since 2010. Son started as a Research Assistant at the Laboratory of Radio Transmitter Devices at SFedU, where they proposed a novel and effective method to control the chaotic regime of semiconductor laser subjected to external injection, proposed a novel analytical method for analysing the nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor laser subjected to external injection, and proposed and demonstrated a novel self-heterodyne detection method for amplitude-shift-keying optical signals. From 2013 to 2016, they worked at Aston University as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and PhD student. During this time, they demonstrated the world first transmission based on the modulation of continuous part of the nonlinear signal spectrum, achieving a record distance reach of 7344km, and demonstrated two novel flexible nonlinear compensation techniques for CO-OFDM, which can be applied effectively in WDM transmissions and optical links with ROADM. Son also invented a novel quasi-pilot-aided phase noise compensation technique for CO-OFDM systems, which effectively reduces the pilot subcarrier overhead by a factor of 2. Since 2016, they have been a Member of Technical Staff and Research Engineer at Nokia Bell Labs, and since 2022 they have been a Principal Systems Engineer at Nubis Communications.

Son Thai Le attended Hanoi University of Science and Technology from 2006 to 2007. From 2007 to 2012, they attended Southern Federal University (former Rostov State University) and received a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering. Son then attended Aston University from 2013 to 2016, where they earned a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Laser and Optical Engineering.
