Professor Graham T. Reed

Short Biography

Graham Reed obtained his first degree and PhD in 1983 and 1987 respectively.

After working for 2 years at ERA Technology Ltd, in 1989 he joined the University

of Surrey with the aim of establishing a research activity in guided wave

optoelectronics, and now leads an internationally recognised group. He is

responsible for initiating a new research field in the UK on Silicon Integrated

Optical Circuits, and his group have produced a series of leading technical

advances in the field worldwide, notably in optical modulators, grating couplers,

and optical sensing applications. A testament to the originality and potential of the

silicon work, is that Bookham Technology Plc adopted it as their core business.

Graham was appointed as a Professor of Optoelectronics in April 2001.

Research Interests

Graham's research interests include all aspects of silicon photonics, including optical modulators, couplers, AWGs,

ring resonators, and Bragg gratings. He also has an active interest in optical fibre sensing, particularly for strain

sensing and crack detection in composite materials.
