Professor Feuer’s current research is centered on applications of optical and communications technologies that can transform society.
As an industrial researcher at AT&T Labs, JDS Uniphase, and Bell Labs, he has been an active contributor to the incredible advances in fiber-optics and electronics that have made the Internet, cell phones, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) possible. His ongoing research at CSI is devoted to writing the next chapters of the information revolution, including infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT), adaptive data center networks to support Big Data initiatives, and intelligent buildings for energy efficiency and ubiquitous connectivity. Although optical components such as lasers, wavelength-selective switches and single-photon detectors play a prominent role, innovations in network design and data encoding will be essential elements of system-level solutions as well.
Dr. Feuer is a member of the Optical Society of America and the American Physical Society and is a Senior Member of the IEEE. He has served on numerous conference program committees, and was General Chair of the large and prestigious OFC/NFOEC2009 conference. He has also served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.
