Summary:
Andreas Beling’s research interests are focused on optoelectronic devices and photonic integrated circuits and their applications in fiber optic communication systems and microwave photonics. Recent work includes the development of high-power photodiodes for photonic microwave generation, radar transmit and receive applications, and optical communications. Other projects are focused on design, fabrication, and characterization of InP-based photonic integrated circuits on a silicon photonic-electronic platform.

Background:
Andreas Beling received the Diploma in physics (M.Sc.) from the University of Bonn, Germany, in 2000 and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Technical University Berlin, Germany, in 2006. He was a staff scientist in the photonics division at the Heinrich-Hertz-Institut in Berlin in 2001-2006, a Research Associate in Prof. Joe C. Campbell’s group at the University of Virginia in 2006-2008, and has two years of industry experience as a project manager working on coherent receivers for fiber optic communication systems. He returned to UVa in late 2010 as a Research Scientist and became Assistant Professor in 2013. Andreas Beling has authored or co-authored more than 90 technical papers, two book-chapters, and three patents. He was a member of the technical program committee of the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference from 2010 to 2012. He served as a Technical Program Subcommittee Chair for Subcommittee 8 (Optoelectronic Devices) at OFC in 2013.
