Abstract:In the last decade we have seen a growing research interest and activities in the emerging field of Visible Light Communications for indoor and outdoor applications. White light emitting diodes are highly energy efficient light sources compared to the traditional light sources offering additional features such as data communications, localization and sensing. This talk will give an overview of why the need for VLC based wireless technologies, discuss the main features of VLC, type of light sources, applications and key challenges facing this green technology. The talk will also cover the recent research and development in the field, which is being carried out with the Optical Communications Research Group at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK.

Prof. Zabih Ghassemlooy received the B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, U.K., in 1981, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in optical communications from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), Manchester, U.K., in 1984 and 1987, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the City University, London, U.K. until 1988. In 1988, he joined Sheffield Hallam University as a Lecturer, becoming a Professor in optical communications in 1997. From 2004 until 2013he was the Associate Dean for Research in the School of Computing, Engineering and then the Faculty of Engineering and Environment, Northumbria University, Newcastle, U.K. He heads the Northumbria Communications Research Laboratories within the Faculty. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Optics and Applications and The Mediterranean Journal Electronics and Communications. His research interests include photonics switching, optical wireless and wired communications, and visible light communications and mobile communications. He has received a number of research grants from U.K. Research Councils, European Union, Industry, and U.K. Government, has supervised a large number of Ph.D. students (more than 49) and published more than 600 papers (218 in journals and four books) and presented several keynote and invited talks. He is a Chartered Engineer of U.K., a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and senior member of IEEE. From 2004–2006, he was the IEEE U.K./IR Communications Chapter Secretary, the Vice-Chairman (2004–2008), the Chairman (2008–2011), and Chairman of the IET Northumbria Network (Oct. 2011).
