Ali Masoudi

Dr. Ali Masoudi is a Principal Research Fellow at University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre, specializing in distributed optical fiber sensors for environmental and infrastructure monitoring.

Research focuses on:

• High-resolution distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)
• Submarine fiber optic sensing for seismic detection
• Novel optical fiber designs for enhanced backscattering
• Railway infrastructure monitoring using DAS

His work bridges photonics engineering with geophysical applications, developing sensor systems for marine environments, transportation networks, and industrial settings. Current projects include underwater acoustic monitoring, pipeline integrity assessment, and oceanic sensing technologies through EU Horizon initiatives.
