Bell Labs Researcher Named Among TR35 Top Young Innovators By 'Technology Review' Magazine
Posted on: Tuesday, 25 October 2005, 09:01 CDT
MURRAY HILL, N.J., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs today announced that Vladimir Aksyuk has been listed as one of Technology Review magazine's TR35, an elite list of top innovators under the age of 35. Aksyuk is the sixth researcher chosen from Bell Labs since the list's inception in 1999, continuing the proud tradition of Bell Labs' inclusion each year the list has been published. Honorees are chosen for their "potential to profoundly impact the world," according to Technology Review, MIT's magazine of innovation. Each of the 2005 winners "exemplifies the spirit of contemporary innovation in technology, business and the arts."
Aksyuk's significant contributions to the field of optical microsystems, specifically research and development of novel optical and other MEMS (micro- electro mechanical systems) devices, landed him among this year's winners. He led the design and device development of the large micromirror arrays on Lucent's LambdaRouter(TM), which was the world's first high-capacity, all- optical communications switch. He also developed micromirror arrays for DWDM wavelength switching applications; integrated MEMS with optical waveguides for applications in WDM systems; designed switches and variable attenuators for DWDM add/drop and other applications, and designed other optical MEMS devices.
In addition, his work has paved the way for future Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) systems such as CCIT (Coherent Communications Imaging and Targeting), a DARPA project that aims to develop new, secure, high-speed and long-range laser-based communication technologies, and advances in maskless lithography that could be applied to areas such as advanced integrated circuit manufacturing.
"The real-world communication challenges that drive our research programs inspire researchers like Vladimir to continually push the edge of our technology, laying the foundations for future breakthroughs," said David Bishop, vice president, Nanotechnology Research, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies. "We're proud of what Vladimir has accomplished and congratulate him on this honor."
Aksyuk currently holds 23 patents with several applications pending, and he has published more than 40 papers. He earned an undergraduate degree in Physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and a doctorate in Physics from Rutgers University.
