Ruben Luis

Ruben Luis is a senior researcher at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan. He received is Ph.D from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 2007 and has since served in the optical telecommunications industry as researcher and optical systems architect for Nokia Siemens Networks (2003 to 2008) and for Infinera (2015 to 2016). Since 2016, he is a senior researcher for the Photonic Network Laboratory of the Japan National Institute of Information and Communication Technology. His main fields of research include ultra-wideband and spatial division multiplexing (SDM) transmission systems supported by conventional fibers, multi-core fibers and multi-mode fibers; digital signal processing for optical transmission; and fiber propagation phenomena, including fiber nonlinearities. He has also contributed to the organization and technical committees of multiple conferences including the international conference for transparent optical networks (ICTON), the opto-electronics and communications conference (OECC), the advanced photonics congress (APC) the photonics in switching and computing conference (PSC), and the IEEE Summer Topicals meetings.

For JLT, he is handling submissions on the following topics:

- Optical fiber transmission systems and subsystems

- Digital signal processing for coherent optical fiber transmission

- Spatial division multiplexing transmission and components

- Optical amplifier technologies and design
