معرفی
Gertjan Coudyzer is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ghent University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, working within the Department of Information Technology (EA05) and affiliated with IMEC. His work focuses on optical receiver design, burst-mode signal processing, and passive optical network (PON) systems.
- Key research areas: Optical Fibre Communications, Burst-Mode Receivers, and Photonic Integrated Circuits
Recent publications highlight advancements in high-speed optical transceivers, PAM-4 signaling, transimpedance amplifier design, and neuromorphic photonic functions. His work addresses critical challenges in next-generation PON systems, including upstream distortion mitigation, metro/access network convergence, and low-latency optical switching. Collaborative projects span hardware design, system integration, and optical-electronic co-design.
As PhD supervisor for Cheng Wang (2021-2025), he leads research on Optical I/O Front-Ends for Low-Latency Optical Switched Networks. Funding sources include regional Special Research Fund grants for projects like Burst-mode partial response compensating techniques for next-generation optical access networks (2015-2019).
