@im_sergei ...and not just Optical Wireless Communications, as Sir David Payne rightly so mentioned at his Keynote talk!

Who invented communications with the speed of light? We know now. Greeks. At least first publication that survived was by them.

@bayvel_p @ucleeenews @UCLEngineering @ucl @RAEngNews Congratulation! What a team!

Wonderful to celebrate the election of my @ucleeenews @UCLEngineering @ucl Optical Networks Group colleague Prof Robert Killey to the Fellowship of @RAEngNews! We have been working together for >25 years!

@transnet_pgm @ucl @bayvel_p @royalsociety @UCL_ICCS @ucleeenews @UCLEngineering Congratulations @bayvel_p !!!

📢Making history as the first woman and @ucl academic ever, our PI @bayvel_p has won the 2023 @royalsociety Rumford Medal 👏 Please join us in congratulating Prof Bayvel on this once in a lifetime achievement 🎊 @UCL_ICCS @ucleeenews @UCLEngineering 🔗bit.ly/44Mao2Z

@DanKilper @connect_ie Congratulations! Looking forward for the outcomes of this project.

We're excited @connect_ie to be coordinating 6G-XCEL: 6G- Trans-Continental Edge Learning, just selected for funding in 6G SNS, which brings together researchers across the EU and US to cooperate on building a secure and sustainable foundation for AI for 6G.
