Dr Frederic Surre
- Lecturer (Autonomous Systems & Connectivity)
Biography
Frederic received the French Engineering Degree in Electronic Engineering and Signal Processing, the Master of Advanced Studies (Microwave and Optical Transmission) and PhD in Electronic Engineering (Computational Electromagnetics) from Toulouse INP, France in 1998, 1998 and 2003 respectively.
After post-doctoral positions at Queen Mary, University of London, Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University, where he worked on design all-optical functions for optical networks, he was appointed Assistant Professor in Optical Systems at City, University of London.
He has been invited professor at INPT (France) and Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador). In 2017, he was Visiting Assistant Professor at University of British Columbia (Canada).
