Lakshmi Narayanan Venkatasubramani, PhD

Research Fellow, Dublin City University

I received my Master's and Doctoral degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) in Chennai, India, in 2021. I then worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at IIT Madras and Dublin City University (DCU), where I focused on improving transmission throughput in short-reach systems. My research uses advanced signal processing schemes and novel optical devices to optimize data transmission performance. Since June 2024, I have been a Research Fellow at the Radio and Optical Communications Laboratory within the School of Electronic Engineering at DCU. I've been researching the implementation of optical frequency combs and fast-switching optical sources for optical-switching fabrics and high-capacity transmission within data centre networks. I'm also a visiting researcher at AIPT, Aston University, Birmingham, UK.

I'm passionate about traveling and listening to Indian classical music and have recently picked up on little tricks to identify certain ragas (or melodic frameworks) of songs!
