Boštjan Batagelj received his Ph.D. from the University of Ljubljana in 2003 for work on optical-fiber nonlinearity measurements by four-wave mixing. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and a member of the international organizations IEEE and Optica (formerly OSA). As a researcher, he works in the Radiation and Optics Laboratory in the Information and Communications Technology Department. His current research interests include work on the physical layer of optical transport and access networks, including convergence with radio systems and components of microwave photonics, and timing systems based on optical technology. He is named as an inventor on ten patents. He was a cofounder of two start-up companies in the field of microwave and optical technologies.
